Jesus patiently answers each of her questions and leads her to understanding. This is one of the most difficult adjustments that I have had to make in my marriage. Most men have used up their 12,000 words by the time they come home from work. But Jesus had time to talk with women. Women need to talk.
Conversation is how they establish relationships and feel secure in relationships.
A husband like Jesus would sacrifice his need in order to meet wife's need to relate. Men can be very critical and judgmental of the women in their life. We accuse our wives by criticism, put downs, and sarcasm. Your wife will wilt in this atmosphere. She needs the sunshine of mercy and encouragement to blossom.
