Brothers,
I have something that I need some advice on. I will try to keep it short but don't know if I will. I was in Iraq for over 5 years as a contractor. I happened to meet and fall in love with my wife there. She is from Eastern Europe, Romania and was working there as a contractor as well. Right around the same time as we met I became interested in Masonry and after talking with a MM there became even more interested and decided wanted to pursue things. I talked to my wife about this and after we got married after a year or so knowing each other and told her that I would contact the lodge when I got home as my word had been vouched for by a friend. She knew very little about Masonry but did a little research and trusted my judgment. She was great with my improving myself. I have since been raised earlier this year. I really have not been to the Lodge like I would have like to. I have a 2 year old and now a baby on the way. I guess my problem is we have been home for almost 3 years now and I have only been to Lodge a few times. My wife is not against it by any means she just feels like my obligations are at the house and that when I do go I feel guilty like I am taking time away from her. I guess I am seeking advice as to how to weave Masonry more into my daily life and get her more involved so that I can be more involved.
