She's been able to stay at home now for over 15 years and take care of our children. I'm sure most Mothers - if they had a choice - would love to do that. At least that's my bride's desire...

She doesn't see it as "punishment" for being a woman - but as a great blessing. What an honor to be able to spend so much time with your children. I wish I could do that as well...
