A Wife Does Not Recognize What Her Complaints and Criticisms Do
Can you relate at all with the following scenario? A husband says to himself early in the marriage, "I'll pray with her and we can be in a Bible study together with other couples.” As the months pass, he experiences something that de-energizes him: Immediately after one of their regular prayer times together, his wife comments, "You forgot to pray for my mother who isn’t feeling well." After another prayer time a short time later, she accused him, "You didn't pray for me. Do you ever pray for me?" Then a couple weeks later, after their couples Bible study one night she says to her husband, "I can't believe you said what you did to Mary about her son swinging from the rafters at church and needing a time-out. She is struggling as a mother. That was insensitive.”
