she tells him he caint do anything right.
she talks to him like a baby. like shes his mother...
she doesnt trust him.
she attacks every decision he makes.
she makes him feel stupid.
she makes him look stupid.
she talks bad about him to everyone. everywhere. poor credit collector on the phone knows now.
she has a job. he cant keep one. shes only keeping hers out of mercy from the boss.
she wont leave their children with him because he has a temper and yells at them.
she has a separate bank account and gives him money for gas and food as he begs for it.
she wants his help. so he makes dinner. she complains that she was gonna use that meat tomorrow.
she tells his mom he'll do a favor for her. he gets upset. she guilt trips him into it.
she is his wife and she wonders why the man sits at home all day and does nothing.
dear lady.... do you not see??
this is so stupid. i hate this. i hate watching it. i hate feeling sorry for her husband. i hate hearing her rip him to shreds.
today she was going on and on about how she tells him to go out and help people. he has hours and hours of time that other people wish they had... and he could go volunteer somewhere... blah blah... this is moments after he was complaining about his mom making him feel guilty for something. seriously woman.
so i sit here and watch/listen to them. and it has a crazy effect on me. somehow this does not make me swear on my life that i will never get married because there is always bickering and arguing and making the other person feel stupid...... (ALWAYS. seriously. they cannot have a civil conversation.)
BUT.....
it makes me look so forward to having a husband that i can support and love.
a husband that i can trust. a man i will leave my children with.
a man i will tell all my secrets to... that will be my best friend.
a man i will tell all my secrets to... that will be my best friend.
a man that will work hard.
a man that i can take care of... iron his clothes. make his favorite food.
a man that can and will make solid decisions... that follows hard after God...
a man that i can stand behind and build up.
a man that i will be loyal to and never complain about... never whine, gripe, or nag.
a man that is responsible with money.
a man that will lead...that i will be a suitable helper for...
dear jesus... just a little prayer for the aforementioned couple. i am young and have no marriage experience... but she may hear me. please allow me to speak truth... or to just listen like i always do... jesus also, i pray that you would be preparing me...getting my heart and soul ready to follow and support the man that i will one day marry. thanks jesus that i can trust you. and thank you soooooo much for the beautiful example of a godly couple in my parents. thanks for their obedience to you and their diligence to teach us your word.
...and the #4 (or was it #3?) reason why you will make an awesome wife is in the last paragraph; because you have put Jesus first. I'm so privileged to be your friend...so happy to stand beside you waiting for all your desires to come true! :)
