Is this beyond the call of duty?

My darling husband is working away from home this week. His own mobile phone is broken so he as borrowed my sons. He rang me at 11 p.m. last night because he couldn't set the alarm on the phone. In the end I volunteered to ring him at 5.30 a.m. this morning to wake him up. This meant setting my own alarm for 5.20 a.m. to ensure that I was wide enough awake to ring him. And then ringing him back again at 6 a.m. to check he hadn't gone back to sleep. Do I love him or what! Is this beyond the call of duty?

That really nice of you! I hadn't thought of us as cute. I just thought of him as being a bit of a dinosaur because he couldn't work the phone and me as a softie for sorting him out!

It is true. I agree with padu. Imagine, he didn't ask anyone else to help him cope with this problem. He has come to you for help. This means he trusts you with his life. Our work is our source of livelihood. Thus it is the financial life of the family. Maybe you will agree with me on this point.

Husbands and wives help each other in the best way they can. Therefore, it is only right that you come to his rescue when he needs it. The help you will be extending to hime in terms of the alarms and putting through misscalls each morning, will not be much of a trouble to you, right? It will however, place the entire family in trouble if he is unable to report for work promptly and be punished for it.
