It s natural for you to be drawn to a person with strengths where you have weaknesses. The other person s strengths are seen as assets we unconsciously want, but they sometimes irritate us. Acceptance is the first act of loving. It s also one of the first steps to redeeming the time with our husbands. Take a minute to think about it.
Many wives believe everything in life has to be done their way.
They get upset when their husbands choose to do anything differently. They mistakenly believe that if they are going to be happy in this marriage, things have to be done their way. They use their own ideas as the standard for their marriages. When I read the Bible, it says Jesus Christ is God s standard. That means that in my marriage things are not to be my way or my husband s way.
