She was feeling overwhelmed with all she had to do - work responsibilities, family responsibilites, the constant housework. She complained to her husband that he didn't help enough. Instead of being defensive and angry, he said, "Okay, how can I help you?"
She hesitated a minute and then said, "You can do the grocery shopping, cook dinner and do the dishes for the next week."
He did it for her. The menu was hot dogs, frozen chicken nuggets, frozen pizza (twice) and other similar entrees. But he did it and it was a beautiful act of love.
Her book is entitled, How to Act Right When Your Spouse Acts Wrong, by Leslie Vernick.
