See, when you drive home today, you've got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you've got a little bitty rearview mirror.

I just want to be there for my husband. I don't ever want him to think that he's not getting everything at home — love, attention, encouragement, a meal. I just want him to feel the best he feels at home. I think that's what a good wife is. Someone who is very attentive to her husband.
