In marriage your spouse is beside the point. The Bible reveals we do marriage "as to the Lord" based on Jesus saying do all things unto Him.
Small matters! Prof. Chandrasekhar could have canceled a class of 2 but taught Yang & Lee. 10 yrs later both won the Nobel prize in physics.
Are you as intrigued as I am when reading 2 Peter 3:15,16? Peter boldly claimed that Paul's writings were Scripture. Can you believe it?
The urgent is rarely important. The important is rarely urgent. But to Jesus, are some things both important and urgent which I ignore?
Have we thought about the fact that we are nearer to heaven now than when we first believed? What difference should that make? Romans 13:11
It is never too late to learn and change. Said another way, when we think we have arrived others will find us too arrogant to hang out with.
The root problem in marriage is the lack of Love and Respect. Money problems are a symptom. Yet $ problems are like a rash, driving us nuts!
When a wife realizes her difficulty in appearing respectful, she gives greater grace to her husband’s struggle to be as loving as he ought.
When a husband grasps his propensity to be unloving, he extends kindness to his wife when she evidences her proclivity to be disrespectful.

Her Pink+His Blue=God’s Image, royal purple. A gal objects, "To get royal purple a wife must see RED." If I said that how long would I live?
Avoid moving from being a child who felt unloved and reacted disrespectfully to being a parent who feels disrespected and reacts unlovingly.
Teachers: Have as your goal to win over the teachable listener, not the unteachable whiner. We can expend our energies on the wrong target.
I mislabel Sarah as disrespectful when she seeks to do the loving thing. She mislabels me as unloving when I try to do the respectful thing.
My favorite male and female difference statement: "I have nothing to wear!" She means "I've nothing new." He means, "I've nothing clean."
Sarah and I are separated by a common language. Different enough to misunderstand. Common enough to think we shouldn't. So, we talk louder.
My goal among the good willed: help a wife see that hubby isn't trying to be unloving and help him see she isn't trying to be disrespectful.
Sarah and I don't intend to be unloving /disrespectful. Jesus said, "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." We forgive the weakness.
