If God is allowing me to choose for myself, I must allow my husband to choose for himself.>>>> Hello Mary, You are one very wise woman. I can relate to you so much in my own journey. I am so grateful that I was able to stay at home and take care of my children, while my husband went out and worked so hard to support us. I assumed all the household chores including meal preparations. Twenty years ago, I decided to seek a healthier lifestyle. One of which my husband did not desire to follow, so I have for the past 20 years, still bought and cooked the types of foods he enjoys. We are so completely opposite in our thinking. I love exercising, eating healthy, going to church, etc. etc. Why we even cancel each other out at the polls when we vote. But the one thing that we do share in common, is our respect, love and caring for each other and that respect is what has helped us to stay together all these years (almost 50). I do feel sad when cooking and serving him the unhealthy food as I see what it is doing to his health, but it is his choice. I would not want to be forced to change just because he decided to make a change in his life. You are so right when you say life is short and it passes so quickly. I would want to be remembered as a loving wife, mother and grandmother, and not someone that pushed my ways on the family or withheld my committments because they did not march to my drumbeat.
