I am a sexual creature. I need the closeness. It not only feels good sexually, it feels good emotionally. When I look across the dinner table I don't just see my husband, I see my man. I am his wife, and I am also his woman. Sometimes I need my husband, I need him to go to work and I feel I am privileged to care for the money in the house. I take my responsibility seriously. I was taught growing up that a wife 'husbands' her husband's labor.

I was also taught the many things that make up a woman's world. I am comfortable and to me these are just chores, I enjoy doing them and being able to present my husband with a well kept home. Yes, we are Mormon's, and we understand the duties of a wife. I am a mother, a mother of four children and I would, should my husband ask, gladly have a fifth. I live in a world of women, we get together to share, to help each other, to learn from one another, to help carry our many burdens. The community of women is one of the things I enjoy about our life.

When my husband desires his woman, I want to be there for him. I have asked him, I would say maybe told him, that there are times that I need and desire to be with my man. A man needs a woman, of that I am certain. Not just a wife, a companion, he needs a woman of his own. I am that woman for my husband. Likewise a woman needs a man, not just a husband, but a man for her, to make her complete, to father her children, to take that part of me that is woman and make of me what he wants.

In our homes we are duty bound to the home. It has been a surprise that I am also a sexual creature, with very living needs. For me, that moment when he takes me to him, when I wrap myself around him, when he inserts himself in me, that moment when I feel it enter into me, at that moment I know that I am doing God's work on Earth, I am serving his purpose. To know that I conceived children, that I carried and delivered them into the light, that I raise them. And that this man gave them to me, that he chose me of all the women around him, chose me to be the mother of his children, that is when I know that I have purpose. And that purpose comes alive when I am one flesh with him.
