Stand by Your MAN ~ Part 2

Yesterday we were talking about watching your man ~ he likes that. Yet, we need to watch how we watch our hubby. No nagging, barking or harping! Men tune out when wives do that.....not very sweet of us wives to do it either. I always hate it when I do such things!

Go read yesterdays blog so I don't have to review.

~Take the log out of your own eye.

That allows us to see clearly (ever had a piece of dust in your eye?) AND

Allows us to correct humbly (which is the only way to correct our husband)

~ Should you watch it, drop it or over look it?

-Over look

-Forbear

-Share it and drop it

-Lovingly persist

"He said that a wife, if she is very generous, may allow that her husband lives up to perhaps eighty percent of her expectations. There is always the other twenty percent that she would like to change, and she may chip away at it for the whole of their married life with out reducing it by very much. She may, on the other hand, simply decide to enjoy the eighty percent, and both of them will be happy." Elisabeth Elliot ~ Love has a Price Tag

Remember what 1 Peter 4:8 says: Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. When you love someone you choose to over look short comings.

Wives are not only submissive wives, they are also loving sisters. There is a unique way for a submissive wife to be a caring sister towards her imperfect brother-husband. She will, from time to time, follow Galatians 6:1 in his care: "If anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness." She will do that for him.

Will you? Will I? As sisters in the Lord we are to spur one another on to love and good deeds. I want to do that and I hope you do too.

Faithfully His, Lynette

PS. Are you not glad God gave us 1John 1:9 ~ As a wife I need that verse!
