We'll have to do some praying and take a close look at our budget. It's in meekness that we stand our tallest. True meekness let's God draw the line in the sand. It lets God prick the conscience of responsibility in our spouse. It frees us from playing the role of our partner's parent.
Meekness is the natural outgrowth of poverty of spirit and mourning.
If you have never acknowledged your poverty of spirit, nor mourned the loss your sin has caused you, you cannot have authentic meekness. If you try and parrot the words of the Godly meek wife, your husband will hear them as refined sarcasm. They inherit the earth. The world tells us that we win by asserting ourselves and lose when we are door mats. Accept The True Nature of Their Hearts Successful Spouses Accept and Build on Their Failures.
