6 Things a Married Woman is Always Thinking....

The other day, I read a blog post shared by a friend; the writer misses her parents. And then just yesterday another friend posted a lunchbox contest; her children feel she's a good cook. School teacher asked my daughter what I like to do, she replied; My mom likes to wear dresses.

As I was preparing breakfast today, I was thinking what is it I always think about? Well, of course there are so many things to think about BUT what is it that occupies my mind most of the time. Missing our parents, cooking or getting dressed...to name a few....I made a list and came up with these top 6 things. Husbands can treat this as a guide to their wives mind :)

• What goes in Tiffin? And what's for dinner tonight? The #1 thing in a woman's mind is that, she is always thinking of others before herself. She constantly thinks about food, but not out of hunger. She is always thinking about feeding her family.  Even if she is not preparing a meal, she is thinking about what the next meal will be and how healthy can she make. It's almost like in her mind is a running a grocery list and the question, "How can I make broccoli taste good?" 

• Cleaning. Wouldn't it be nice to have a robot maid, who would clean up every little mess and keep us organized? Yeah, right. Unfortunately, it's just a dream. An unfulfilling dream. So, if you find her thinking about something during dinner, she is thinking about the million things that needs to be cleaned: laundry, dishes, sink...the list goes on and on, and she's probably making a mental checklist while others are thinking about a second helping of that vegetable rice.

• Her Looks. Yes, a woman worries about how she looks. Totally. We are actually sometimes too critical about our looks: we can't help thinking about strands of gray hair, wrinkles on our face or added pounds around our waist. So, please make sure you tell her she is beautiful. It helps. A lot.

• To keep her husband happy. We think that a lot. Wives want their husbands to be happy. And we constantly think about how to make that happen. We'll cook their favorite food, even though they are not our favorites. We will shop for them. We'll try to help them with their work...

•  Leave a mark on the world. When we get a quiet moment alone, chances are we are thinking about how we can leave our mark on the world.  We want to make a difference, whether it is through our work, volunteering, creating something amazing, or just showing the world that we have something unique to offer. So, Tell her she can and she will. 

• Her Parents. After marriage, she has added responsibilities and she thinks about her parents, how they maneuvered those responsibilities with such an ease. She misses them every day of her life. Their absence in her life is a void that cannot be filled even with all the love she gets from her family. She understands them so much more now.

And there is a 7th one too, if you have kids

• Are the kids OK? Yes. How can I be a better mom? Who needs to be where? What time? Our kids consume our thoughts day, and even night.  If we seem preoccupied or stressed out, it may be the overwhelming responsibility we feel toward children. Empathy and a listening ear would be good here....:)
