My husband and I met when I was 21 and he was 22. We were young, but very much in love. We got married a year and a half later and got pregnant right away. I had always planned on going back to work after our son was born and my husband was always on board with it...until we started listening to you.
My husband was in the Marine Corps infantry, and we were dirt poor, but never once did he ask me to help. Instead, he worked all day and went out after we went to bed to make a little extra money. We didn't eat out and we lived more frugally than we wanted, but we both decided that my being home with our son and being a wife to my husband was the best thing for our family.
Now, three and a half years later, we have the smartest, most handsome and respectful little boy I've ever met! My husband is still my boyfriend, and we're considering having another child. We never lost sight of what was most important. My husband is a real man and has always provided for our family, even in the hardest of times. Thank you for giving us the guidance we never knew we needed!

P.S. Our son's name is Rhett, so he's destined to be a real man too!
