Is marriage a retirement for women?? 😹😹

Not at all . For me that is when life really began . I had just transitioned from being a highly successful student on top of my game to a entry level professional that didn’t know anything yet . I had been experiencing romantic love and it frightened me because there was so much passion inside me and my husband . The world of sex opened up to me . Suddenly something I had never done was just as important to my life as breathing. I had the stress of not only making sure I was happy with myself, but I now had the responsibility of being a beautiful and verile man’s wife and I had to make sure he was happy , satisfied, and had a good companion. I stayed fit , I dressed in clothing styles that he liked , I tried new things ( even though I didn’t really want to) and quickly learned he was much smarter than I . I desperately wanted to be considered an equal by him and not a pet ... so I had to overcome that . Then I realized he was in awe of me , just as much as I was of him . And so I made sure I considered his feelings constantly. Then there was pregnancy. All the hormonal rage to contend with . My amazing figure slowly being destroyed made me feel fat and inadequate and ashamed . But again my husband was in complete amazement of me . He loved my pregnant body , he rove touching it , he loved his son growing inside the huge mass on my abdomen ... he loved how huge my boobs had become , the lactation, the dripping , and breast feeding our son after birth all fascinated him and he was very attentive and protective of me . I realized that someone I admired and respected thought I was the reason for their existence. That was a huge responsibility. I couldn’t believe he felt that way about me . Then I had to get back into shape ! He was muscular and tall and handsome ... ! I wanted to be pretty and sexy for him again . I work hard to be a good wife . To satisfy his conscious and subconscious needs . I am also a mother and a beautiful little boy who needs his mommy to be there for him . I never had a mom until later growing up and had no clue about how to act , so I try to be the mom I always imagined I would want when I was just a little girl . Then there’s everyday life. I am not about to let it become mundane . I value my marriage far too much to allow that to happen . So I strive to make sure it doesn’t. We are both professionals and we work after we get home . Me in my office , him up in his man cave . I go up and steal a kiss and a hug and tell him how amazing everyday is just by being his wife. He does much the same to me . But anyone who believes marriage is a retirement for a woman really hadn’t planned on being a very good wife or Married for very long . They plan on missing the adventure.
