HOUSEWORK IS ABOUT DISCIPLINE, NOT DESIRE:
It’s not that a housewife has to desire cleaning her home, it’s that she has to have the discipline to do it.
Just like people who go to jobs every day don’t necessarily desire sitting in traffic, or attending meetings, or doing paperwork and other things they don’t want to do, but they do it because they are disciplined and because they know the end result pays off with a paycheck.
While a housewife doesn’t get paid for her work, she does get to enjoy the results of a clean home and a happy family who are thankful for the work she does.
When a housewife makes discipline a priority over what she desires, she not only improves herself, but she improves her home too.
