My Perfect Wife
My wife Kathy is not the perfect wife, but she is “my perfect wife”. “Ahh, how cute” you are thinking. “He is such a sweet husband to say that.” I don’t think you understand. I do not mean that as something nice and cute to say about my wife. It is not meant to be hyperbole, but a statement of fact.

How can someone be perfect? It is impossible of course unless God is involved. He can take an imperfect woman and make her my perfect wife. Kathy still makes wrong decisions at times. She does not love me in ways I want every single moment of the day. She doesn’t peel my grapes as fast as I would like. She is not the perfect wife but she is the greatest gift, outside of Jesus Christ Himself, that God has given me; my perfect wife.

My number one desire in life is to be like Jesus. Everything else is secondary. Kathy was given to me to help me become the man of God which I was designed to be. Everything about her helps me to grow spiritually. All of her positive, Godly traits; as well as her negative,ungodly traits.

Kathy is a great cook. If you come to our house for dinner you would find a home cooked meal from scratch. Many of the ingredients could be freshly picked from our garden. It taste heavenly and there is always more then enough. We do not eat frozen dinners in our house. The microwave is only used to warm up leftovers. Even popcorn is cooked on the stove in a sauce pan and real butter is poured on top.

She is such a great cook that I am now on a diet. I have lost almost 20 lbs and hope to lose another 20. I am learning about self control from my wife. Thankfully she helps and doesn’t cook as much or as fattening foods as she se to. Still great food which I could stuff myself so full of I would look like a candidate for “The Losers” TV reality show.

Her good traits help me learn godly traits. I won’t speak of anything bad she does (very few to mention anyway) but let me just say she is not perfect. Those negative traits

    In today’s society, the ‘ideal look’ is an image that women strive to accomplish and fulfill. Perfection becomes an idea that all women feel like they need to become to receive simple things such as recognition, acknowledgement and most importantly love. This is evident in “The Birth Mark” where Aylmer, a natural philosopher, is intrigued and even obsessed with a birth mark on his wife’s face. Although he is very much in love with his wife, it becomes clear that his love and appreciation of her would increase with the removal of her birth mark. He believes that his wife is “nearly perfect” (CITE) if it not for her “visibly mark of earthly imperfection” (CITE). Through this quote, we are able to see that Aylmer is fixated on this one birth mark that he believes to be a flaw. Moreover, the birth mark he considers to be a flaw causes him not to appreciate or recognize that his wife is beautiful. This is significant because it shows that Aylmer’s wife does not conform to Aylmer’s idea of perfection which ultimately prevents him from acknowledging the beauty that his wife is. Through this we see that the female stereotype of perfection is an…

    Since I was six years old, I have always helped my mom out in cooking. I loved to assist her in making dinner, desserts, as well as food for parties.

So now that I work more than the average forty hour work week, I sometimes slip and eat that fast food because it is there and easy. Knowing that I know I need to make the changes to change my bad habits.…

    Michael Pollan’s “Out of the Kitchen, Onto the Couch”, is a stimulating article that starts out with Pollan describing how he watches Julia Child on the TV show, “The French Chef” as a child with his mother after school, then eating Julia’s recipes for dinner. Pollan’s purpose in writing this article is to bring people’s attention to the reasons why there is a decrease of home cooking and an increase of processed (fast) foods. Pollan supported his view by taking the readers through culinary history from Julia Child to the Food Network. Pollan’s goal is to encourage people to cook more by themselves rather than ordering food.…

    Family traditions: I love cooking at home because it provides a program for sharing family traditions. Nevertheless, food made at home is a big part of a cultural tradition. Furthermore, it reminds us of what our antecedents did. Therefore, if we stop cooking and sharing these recipes at home, we lose the side of the family’s culture that make us who we are today.…
