Now, if I were in the mode of relying on wife and kids for my self-fulfillment, I'd be a basket case right about now. That's thinking way too far ahead. That's too much pressure. It's not fair to her. She's got too many other things to think about to have to deal with all that.
Every worthwhile girl does.
I've said a few things to her that seemed to really make her feel good. So yes, I get some fulfillment from that. I get some fulfillment from work. I get some fulfillment from the things I do at church. And I get some fulfillment whenever a friend calls up and asks for advice or a favor.
