I used to think and ask myself why ?????? 

And then...  I just gave up and gave in.  Now I laugh with him.  And believe me, there is alot of laughter in our house, cause he laughs with ME.  hehe

Goes both ways, I found out.

I am always perfect in all I do...it is that I must suffer being present with so many who are imperfect that seems to cause all of my conflict.

I know nothing of what you speak...

yep, I guess I could be asking myself a lot worse whys when it comes to my dear o hubby. I really do wish he'd put both socks in the washer though. I hate it when I think I've lost a sock, only to find it a few days later stuck in the couch, or worse yet, I throw the one sock away

Lol Patrick....There's part of the problem male pride and how easy it's damaged (me included). I also believe that woman (as a whole) are better at social interaction. Where as my wife can be sensitive in most situations I cannot. I'm either sensitive or focused on a task ahead and that area of my mind switched to 'sensitivity' is switched off. Because of this woman are able to multitask in this department more easily than us.

Thank the Lord for the word 'Sorry' :)

I think one of the reasons is because women are more multi-taskers than men, whereas men are simply multi-tasked up to the hilt by the women. ROTFLOL!!!  Or should I follow that with an "Oops!"

Crystal it is my wife that runs off with the trolley leaving me to catch her up carrying 500gms of Turkey mince, 2 large onions, a pack of long grain rice, 2 tins of tomatoes, 2 tins of red kidney beans, 1 packet of Swhartz chilli powder, a galic bulb and when we get home she leaves me to cook her a mexican chilli LMSO, Stu. All of this and pushing my own wheelchair LOL. Love Stu

The question is, WHY ASK WHY!!! Don't!
My husband and I have funtioned  together( not very well) until recently.
He has his world and I have mine. Simple. That we understand.
After 18 years of knowing him and 13 years of praying for him, I'm finally seeing
the Lords hand moving in his heart. and mine. It probably took our latest major fallout to bring about peace for me first and now him.Yea.!! Yes my dear we are
married for better or worse. I have to be thankful for all my trials and tribulations.
Without  stormy weather we will never weather the storm.

I'm multi task, take a few days ago, my husband had me typing his resume, doing a load of laundry, trying to have a conversation with him and Mr. Bee at the same time, AND bakeing a pie.......... all at the same time. Now, its good that he thinks that I can do anything........but I'm not that talented to try these all at the same time. I got sofustrated with him that I totally forgot Mr. Bee, and cut him off without saying so long, good ridense, or toodaloo....... anyway, I forgot about him untill the next day. sorry Mr. Bee......But again, your a MAN

Doesn't the Bible say somewhere that husbands are to live in understanding of their wives...hehe!  See why?  sounds familiar, true dat.  I believe that marriage is the single most efficient means of being purified. To be purified we gotta go through the fire...sandpaper must be ever present in our life. yup, that's marriage.
crystal
October 28, 2009
again I say, Got that right. I think if people can survive marriage, the can survive anything. Sandpaper and all

Ha ha Lara, Being married, also had to be one of the examples
of going through the fire!

Sandpaper in the bathroom, maybe...I gotta say, I have it all figured out. Now if women would just take off their shoes, make some dinner, and have some babies, it'll all be just perfect....and put down the remote. Learn to love sports. Gives you something to talk to me about...:o)
Lara Leger
October 28, 2009
lol My husband is NOT into sports. Paul said we'd have trouble in the flesh if we married, and he'd rather spare us....spare us? From what you ask? Now you find out. haha

Why would a "man" allow a CHURCH to  tell him to walk out on a marriage of 32 years and his family to come to their singles group to meet women? Mind you they did this without even knowing the wife or family
Leigh Thomas

On a serious note...

The most wonderful thing about marriage is it is the closest thing to the covenent God made between Himself and us through His Son Jesus Christ.  Besides being wonderful, it also is hard work!  Believers who make a success of their marriage honor GOD and will recieve a great reward!!!

I had a good laugh the other day.  My brother-in-law does all the cooking, washing up, vacuuming etc. and my sister complained she had nothing to do. So he got up one morning, decided to do totally the opposite, then she complained there was too much to do.  Followed by, what's up with ya. Have you gone on strike?  Either-way - from day one he knows he's on a loosing streak, cos he doesn't know when she gets up - which hormone has got out of bed first, cos one shoots up North, the others gone down South, and the one that's standing right in-front of him - he hasn't got a clue.  So whenever I go round - I test the hormones out first, cos with 4 sisters to deal with, they're all over the place. LOL!!!

May I recommend two books:
For Men Only
For Women Only

Having read the first, I now know everything about you ladies.

(lol, but seriously, our small group read these, and we are all still benefitting from the insights gained!)

ps... Laura read the 2nd book, and she still isn't a football fan. So obviously these books aren't perfect.

Hey Marcella...that is not true.  I can multitask with the best of them especially since I define my own standard of success!!!

And Crystal...buy more socks then play the game of pretend...pretend you have both socks by pulling out of your stash.

Pretend to remember that there is no more powerful creation in this world than a woman who can function within her God-given role.

My wife will never be successful at ruling over me...any time she "orders" me around she gets nowhere but frustrated.  But she learned a long time ago how to get me to do things...and I will do anything to please her.

What kind of husband would you have if he was a soft gutless pushover.  My wife loves that I stand up to people...she doesn't sometimes care for how it could effect us but spineless character runs downstream.

A husband needs to be strong for his family, to stand up at work and home against things and to be able to protect...this same character will yield conflict w/in the marriage.

My wife doesn't need to understand me...I am an everchanging person as is she.  She needs to understand her...what her desires and goals are and determine how to get there.  A husband that doesn't love to see his wife happy and doesn't love to hear appreciation from his wife is ... well that marriage is in trouble.

But most of the conflict I deal with in married couples is that the two people who love each other either give no consideration or have no clue how to get each other to move.  They spend everyday at work guarding what they say and how they say it to people who make no difference yet when it comes to their own loved ones they ramp and rage or nag and nit pick.

I also rule in my home...but not by demanding stuff...or I will be single...it boils down to how willing one is to give up the desire to control...

One thing that gets a man everytime when the woman in their life is getting nowhere fast.  Its called "the silent treatment."  In my instance, I could make coffee-after-coffee - and line them all up on the table, but she would ignore all of them, get up and make her own. That drove me absolutley loco, cos I kept thinking to myself, how many times have I got to kiss ass to say I'm sorry?  Believe me, that silent treatment lasted for days, sometimes 24/7.  So whenever that happened, I might as well have been like a pane of glass, cos she had the knack of looking straight through me as if I wasn't there.  So Joyful Servant.  One thing about sisters.  You don't have to live with 'em 24/7 - cos that would drive me loco.  LOL!!!

OMOTN, I have 6 older brothers...no sisters.  I learned about men the hard way; fortunately, God prepared my husband for me and I wouldn't change a thing about him.

Sorry if I robbed your blog...I see so much marital conflict on a daily basis and so much of it is unecessary...but if we erect for ourselves standards for others to keep that are impossible or impractical, we are building our own turmoil...and that is the hardest to heal from.

I can get away from you but I can't get away from me.

thanks everybody. I guess I should say what I do understand about my dear o hubby. He's a giver, a floor moper, dishwasher, yard worker, and hard working factory worker. when I'm sick, He's my nurse, when I hurt, he's my friend. He loves me, But more important, he loves God.
He's a keeper. I'll never understand him, but it doesn't matter I guess, I'm grown use to him.  haha
Seriously, I see to many women abused in one way or the other for me to complain. As for the silent treatment, been there. it don't work. The more silent we are, the more we have to let out, so I say get it out now or forever hold your peace. I just want him to understand that he needs to think BEFORE speaking, not the other way around

Ha ha Crystal, this is so funny. I agree with you on the medecine one. It works a lot better (I like my mommy giving it to me LOL). About the diet/caramel one, maybe it's cuz he's saying he doesn't think you need to diet and he likes you just the way you are. But I agree, it gets annoying when you are serious about it.

Love ya Crystal! You always make me laugh (or lift me up when I'm down...)
