Your Woman & You - Part 3 of 4- revised reprint from earlier this year
Although this episode of my challenges of late with my woman (the Mrs., of course) suddenly abandoning me and our home , is coming to a close under the title of this article(one more entry), this is not by a long shot, any real closure.
My woman and I were married approximately 3 1/2 years ago. But, it wasn't until after that wonderous event in our lives, that she showed me a list of her expectations towards the man she would marry.
A perfect score! I met every, single item [line for line] on her list of expectations.
Like any couple, we've got our differences of opinion on things. And, you know, especially, if you're married, there are moments when you really want to "let it fly" on some things......and, you do.
You both have those moments. But then, what do you both do once the steam settles? You compromise.
She says:
"Okay, if that's what sets you off, we'll avoid it."
You say: " If that's what sets you off, then we'll avoid it."
You do it because you love each other, and you're worth more to each other than these disagreements on things. Then you both agree to put it behind you, and to move on in the Name of Jesus.
This is all part of the struggle to stay together, to learn more about each other, and to become even more subjected to each other, as we're subjected or in submission to Christ.
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her" Eph. 5:25
“Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband” Eph.5:33
