The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man." Genesis 2:23
I'm telling you--men just have it easier. Here are some examples someone sent me. When you're a man . . .
* Your last name stays put. * The garage is all yours. * Wedding plans take care of themselves. * You can never be pregnant. * Wrinkles add character. * The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. * You've got one mood all the time. Usually. * Phone conversations are over in thirty seconds flat. * A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. * You can open all your own jars. * You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. Usually. * If someone forgets to invite you somewhere, he can still be your friend. * Your underwear is $8.95--for a three-pack! * The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. * You only have to shave your face and neck. * You can play with toys all your life. * One wallet and one pair of shoes--one color for all seasons. * You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. * You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife
See what I mean? So the next time your wife seems too complicated for you, be patient with her. You didn't marry a man. You married her because she is different.
Realize that her life comes with a lot of stuff you don't have to put up with. Take the time to genuinely listen and understand because God created her as a gift for you.
Discuss If your wife is not hitting you in the arm too hard right now, take a few minutes to talk about your differences. Promise you'll try to do a better job of understanding and appreciating those differences.
Pray Take your wife by the hand and give God thanks for providing her with all her uniqueness.
Happily recovered!and Happily Married :0)
Commit your works to the LORD and your plans will be established. Proverbs 16:3
