I was going by this:
Quote:And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.
The rest of it doesn't really apply.
I cry, sure. Always for a reason, though.
Quote:I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,
I think I'm strong, yeah, but so is my husband.
Quote:yet gentle enough to give comfort.
I think I'm gentle, yeah, but so is my husband. (Especially with our daughter.)
Quote:I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth
There ya go. I, and I alone, gave birth. Yup.
Quote: and the rejection that many times comes from her children.
Why will I experience this and not my husband?
Quote:I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up
My husband's plenty stubborn and resilient, too
Quote:, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I do this, but complain. ;-) My husband does it too.
Quote:I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.
Again with the children being mean to their moms thing. Dunno what's up with that, but all of that goes equally for my husband.
Quote:I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
This one's pretty much completely bogus. He can deal with his own faults, I'll deal with mine, we'll help each other when help is needed.
Quote:I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
What does this one mean, exactly? You'll always be sweet, but that husband of yours is gonna be a jerk 'cause face it, men are jerks, but stick with him anyway?
Quote:And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
See above. "Exclusively"? Why?
