I am the keeper of my husband's history.

About This Quote

While this quote is a bit of a line from a joke, I think it can be understood as an important lesson for any woman. There is a lot of pressure placed upon wives to be the caretakers of their husbands's lives. In many cultures, a wife is expected to make sure her husband has a career and a place to live. In the U.S., both men and women have been working to shift that responsibility from women to men.

Still, that pressure exists. With the right attitude, it doesn't have to be oppressive. It's up to each person to decide what will work best for them and their family."
