Your
wife works. Whether your wife is a homemaker or holds a job
outside of the home, she works. She has numerous demands calling
for her attention, and energy. The key question is, "How
do you respond to her work?" Do you appreciate what she
does and encourage her in her work? A woman needs to have
a sense of fulfillment just as man does. Without it she experiences
frustration and unfulfillment. This will in turn affect your
relationship. Regardless of what kind of work your wife does,
she needs your support, encouragement, and prayers. The following
