Yes, plk, it IS your job to be patient and loving, regardless of W's actions because the Lord has appointed YOU the spiritual leader of your home. If you are not leading in your M and home with the help of God, then Satan is. It is as simple as that.
Glad to hear of your successful hunt! My H and my brother are hunters also, although my bro has kept up with it more so than my H has. I have only passively participated in the hunting, skinning and butchering aspects. Not quite my cup of tea, but I know of many women who do actively participate.
Keep on, plk. Work on that focus and refer to the Word daily to help you maintain it.
In His Blessed Name, LG
A blessed and happy marriage is a union of two forgivers and Him, because...a cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12.
