If you’re a family man and you’re a laid back kinda guy, you might be upsetting your always-on-the-job-taking-care-of-business wife, who expects the head of the family to get things done like she does so that life runs smoothly at home.
It’s like a Bob Dylan song, you fix one thing and another thing breaks. It makes great common sense to keep on top of whatever is a priority. What needs to get done before something else comes up ? To be able to move onto more important matters, like yourselves, your worship of God, and your family and have time to relax, don’t procrastinate. Get things done. You can always hire handymen, landscapers, babysitters or whatever the case may be to free up your time too. If it bothers your perfectionist husband or wife that the grass isn’t mowed, the cars need oil changes, and you have got to get your hair cuts…go get it done. It makes for a successfully happy family life, getting what needs to be done, done.
You’re wife has asked you for so long to fix something. That’s important to her. Why wouldn’t you ? You love her don’t you ? She’s not a nag because she likes things nice and everything fixed, is she ? You are blessed with a wonderful wife. Don’t you know that ?
No she’s not a nag. You’re being unkind to her by not helping to get things done for your luscious lady. She’s asking you saying, “please, honey bear, stud muffin’ man of mine, will you please fix the leaky faucet?” You have to lure your man in…get it ladies ? Men have egos, different than ours. Men need to feel appreciated, especially if they’re going to work “breaking their ass” to support you.
Procrastinate ? Where is your love and respect for your spouse ? Are you intentionally trying to annoy your partner, friend or family ? Why do you want an unhappy spouse ?
There is not one single successful business, government, or family that was entirely successful, who procrastinated about matters of priority and importance. All a husband, wife or family member has to say is this, “I’m putting it on my schedule to do on such and such a day and time. I promise I’ll get it done. ”
And then simply add, “because I love you.” See how easy that is ? Love conquers all.
