You have a choice over how you will act and speak.
Your husband comes home a bit late and you’re waiting dinner. How do you respond?
He leaves his socks on the floor for the billionth time? What do you do?
You really want to go to a special event, but it’s pricey? What do you say?
I’m not telling you to be a pushover or to ignore real problems.
I’m asking you to think and consider the circumstances well. Was it pouring rain when he came home late? Can you speak respectfully to your husband about his bad habits? Can you be honest with him about what you want and need?You are a part of the equation that makes up your marriage relationship. Take the time you need to examine a situation. Pray. Approach your husband at a good time (for both of you). Speak clearly and respectfully. Be willing to listen and work through to reasonable solutions.
You have a choice. You govern what you say and do.
