Once I got home I fixed dinner, brewed the pitcher of tea, juiced a gallon of fresh fruit juice, and cleaned up the mess.
I didn't do it in hopes of having sex.
I did it because I love her.

I think that's great! Did you, by chance, have older sisters? My brother was the youngest of five, and the only boy. When his wife, who didn't work, was pregnant, he would come home after working ten hours and cook because the smell of cooking food made my sister in-law sick. Until she started working she had no idea how special she had been treated. One day she and I were talking about how my brother could do, would do and did do anything and everything around the house. I told her the credit belong to my older sister and me. We made sure, as I did with my daughter, that he would never take the work of others for granted, or treat their spouse/children as a servants, the way his father had treated our mother and us. I also wanted to make sure that my daughter would never have to stay with a man because she could not support herself.

No, just a good example when it came to my parents.
They taught by example that marriage is a partnership.
When one partner is out of the loop, the other partner picks up the slack or the business (marriage) goes under.
