"Return of the Happy Housewife"

I take my title from an article in the Los Angeles Times this past Sunday. It is a welcome change to read something published in a mainstream medium that backs up the teachings of the Gospel.

The article reports on a study done by two University of Virginia sociologists which concludes that the happiest married women are those who do not work outside the home and whose husband is the primary breadwinner. Check out the article here for stats!

Also, the article says that "the key to marital happiness isn't splitting household chores and child care down the middle... It's much simpler: an affectionate and appreciative husband who believes, along with his wife, that marriage is forever. Sociologists call it "emotion work" — husbands talking to their wives, being understanding and supportive, spending quality time in the form of romantic evenings for two, walking hand-in-hand on the beach and so forth."

Hats off to Mr. Moo, for making me a happy, married woman!
