I
have had a fault. I have not been
pulling my weight in my husband’s and my marriage the best I can. Listening and memory is something, that if it
were better, reaching the greatest degree of the best helpmeet I can be for my
husband would be better in the area of pulling my weight. If I would hear what he talks to me about and
remember what he says, his hard-earned money by his time would be saved and so
would his frustration and disappointment for the times he’s realized I didn’t
remember what he said.
A
few very relating examples of this is the time just last night when I went to
Subway and didn’t remember until I came back home and he saw the receipt and
asked me if I used the points card that he had given to me and asked me to use. I had put it in my wallet so that I
could have it with me and use it.
Another example is from a few weeks ago, and I have been juicing
vegetables and fruits lately with a juicer, a wedding gift of ours. A juice I made didn’t taste that great, and
my husband told me just to juice more of the ingredients without the one that
made it taste bad and mix it with the juice that didn’t taste that great, so as
to save it. I didn’t hear him right
‘cause I threw out the juice instead of juicing more and saving the juice.
Caring
by listening and remembering is a great and simple way for me to pull my weight
in the team of our marriage, helping my husband.
Hmm. Good insight, and something I have been guilty of as well. I think I need to work on a heart attitude of attentiveness and deep respect towards my husband, which, in turn, should help me remember the things he tells me.
ReplyDeleteSuch a challenge to those who don't have their priorities right, and for me, recently, I've been thinking it is a heart issue.
