--Nicholas Sparks
Around our house, the primary love language is acts of service. (See "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman.) I maintained the home front for decades while my husband was the primary bread-winner. He worked all day, then came home and made the family supper nearly every evening. Now that he is retired from his computer-geek career, he is constantly busy either with around-the-house projects, walking the dog, or working part-time with Corporate Caterers. His "pattern of devotion" makes our lives quite wonderful.
I am not a complete slacker even though I do not feel compelled to be busy all the time. I take care of our household finances and the garden, and I occasionally do house-cleaning. My contributions are not as obvious as, say, replacing the deck (which my husband did), but I do believe I would be missed if I left the planet. My husband supplies the music and I supply the art for our household.
By the way, I have decided that I am completely comfortable calling myself an artist. It matters not whether someone sees or likes my various forms of art. So there!
