My last post was about showing our husbands respect - whether they deserve it or not... giving respect as a gift. Well, this article from Gospel Coalition is a great followup to that idea. So often as wives we believe it is our role to point out the ways that our husbands are not respectable and encourage them to change. Immediately. For us. Oh, how wrong we can be!
Here is a little snippet: "Most of my corrections stemmed from a desire to fill some perceived need
of mine and had little to do with his sanctification. My desire was
that he would change for me, not to please and glorify God. My
observations were generally (not always) selfish."
I can't recommend this article enough. Please read it.
