I am a Happy Wife. But if I actually believed the television shows, magazine articles or books out at the moment, I'd think the term "Happy Wife" is an oxymoron and the enjoyment I've experienced throughout these years together is an anomaly.
Decades of the media bombarding us with visions of unhappy wives and daunting divorce statistics made me think about the rarity of my marriage and the joy I feel as a wife. Then it hit me! I can't be the only one. There must be others out there who view marriage and spending time with their husband as one of the absolute greatest blessings in their life.
With this thought in mind, I've set out on a mission. I believe there are millions of wives all over the world just like me and I'm determined to find them and give a voice to this seemingly rare woman conveniently missing from all forms of media and entertainment.
Have 'Happy Wives' somehow resorted to hiding? Not wanting to seem too enthused about marriage because some of our friends and family members have had or are having challenges in their relationships? Maybe it's time we stop allowing others to tell us we're a minority. What if through this expedition we discover we're actually the majority? Now, wouldn't that be a 'new kind of normal?'
So, here I go. On a journey to prove joy and marriage still go hand-in-hand, the 'Happy Wife' really does exist and you and I aren't the only ones a part of this club. And if you haven't yet joined the Club, what are you waiting for? Join here and together let's change the perception of marriage around the world.
