I just love it when guys complain to me about their marriages.
“Ugh, my wife just did this…I have to do this thing with my wife and kids…”
It get it that sometimes you just need to vent but internally I am laughing. I am laughing because I would love to be able to complain about my wife. I am also a little upset with them thinking, “Can you hear yourself? How lucky you are to have a wife in the first place.”
Quit complaining and do something about it.
I can’t judge these guys because I did the same when I was married. We can end up taking for granted what we have. We focus on the negatives and forget the positives that we have which can lead to us becoming bitter towards our spouse.
As much as I just want to laugh at these guys, I mostly just want to smack them around and tell them to step up. Why don’t we call each other out? Sure, you might make a friend mad at you by calling them out. Isn’t that worth it if you help them avoid a disaster at home instead of giving them sympathy and saying they are right and setting them up for future disasters?
But…I have been fighting for my marriage and nothing has changed. That’s not the point. Have you changed or grown? You are called to be faithful and serve your spouse.
