Mila, that's totally it, men often feel (no offense guys, it's much appreciated) that the money is the way they are to take care of their families.
MHL, I really, really pray and believe that one day God will restore my M. However, if I am reading Him wrong and he doesn't intend to give me back my H, then I secondarily pray then that I meet someone like you who is willing to go the extra mile for someone he loves. You are a prize. All you men on here are prizes, and I pray and hope that one day your wives will wake up and realize what they have.
And yes, you're right, it does instill a sense of pride and also awe that we are able to accomplish so much.
