After getting home from church, my wife doesn't understand why I am irritated that she gets pulled away to choir practice for her calling. Sunday is absolutely not a day that I get to spend much time with my family.
That is sometimes the sacrifice made by a leader. But I'm sure you give willingly and without complaint, right?

I'm sure you were listening when President Monson spoke about how uncomplaining his wife was when he was gone for days or even weeks on church assignment.

PS. Welfare meeting was done away with a little while back.
