Meet Your Husband’s Need for Domestic Support
First, read about the need for domestic support if you have not done so already.
In our current culture, wife and husband often both work all day away from home, returning tired to face cooking, laundry, cleaning, and many other tasks at home. Both husband and wife need time for rest and relaxation. The specific roles of husband and wife in keeping an orderly and clean house, and in providing household income, are undefined. The first step in meeting your husband’s need for domestic support is to decide with him what your respective roles and tasks will be. In doing this, try to accommodate his needs and expectations as much as possible, just as he should try to accommodate yours. Once you have agreed upon your respective roles, do what you can to make your home a castle for him. A little planning or a little change in schedule could make a big difference in enabling you to better meet his need for domestic support.
Make and keep a budget together
No matter how much or little your income, you make choices regarding how some of it is spent. A budget is a plan, a set of priorities, that enables you to spend your money on what you decide you really want, rather than blowing it on impulsive purchases. The essence of a budget is long-term planning that will enable you to live within your means and work toward financial goals.
