I love this post, yet my wife is terified to help with anything I do in the Lodge, she would rather I go to another brother for help. That way she can play with my power tools while I'm away.
Case in point, at the last Fellowcraft ritual, she was home ripping the bathroom apart, a complete surprise to me. I'm sure she'll finish it while I'm at the next Master raising!

We are blessed as Masons to be able to share our burdens and responsibilities with our wives.

I tell my wife the basics, but she's not really involved - she's got her own things that keep her busy.

A lot of guys have their wives help them with ritual, leading to the joke that some of them do better at it than the guys themselves.

Wait - maybe that's not so funny!
