As a single woman, I cannot tell you how important it is that you love your husbands! Act it out in love, by respect and giving honor whether you believe he deserves it or not.
I ran to Tar-jay after work for pancake syrup (Tyler was cooking pancakes yum!) and stopped near the cereal for some toffee crunch whatever that caught my eye. Standing next to me was an older gentleman who was interested in another flavor of cereal. He commented on possibly getting it and I agreed - said it looked really good, and for only $4 it was worth it to try since it looked healthy. he looks over me towards his wife and says "honey?" she doesn't even LOOK at him and says "NO". He says "come look". She says "You are NOT buying this". He says it looks really good. She says "You won't eat it" - he says "I'd like to try it". She says "It's too expensive" He says "then I'll buy it". She says "you will NOT - you won't eat it - you never eat that crap it's too good for you".
*sigh* $4? Ladies is it really that important? I understand some people's budgets are really tight, but your husband is NOT your child... The man was trying to eat a healthy cereal - so WHAT if he never eats it? It is only $4. Let your husband have some dignity in the store. Don't embarrass him...
and before you say "i never do this..." i need you to think about how you talk to him. Think about other things you do or don't do. I'm not asking you about your DH's actions... I'm begging you to evaluate yours.
Some guys are jerks. if you married one... I'm sorry.... but it is no excuse for you to become ugly and a jerk yourself. Get yourself out, get safe... but don't humiliate yourself in the grocery store.
There are too many 'single' women out there waiting in the wings to show your DH all your personal faults....

I really appreciate what you wrote... I have discovered a long time ago, that how I respond to my husband, in tone and words, will often determine the outcome of a situation... After all you get more bees with honey than with vinegar.
Amen Kari!!
Hey Kish that is so pitiful. My sister has a good friend that treats her hubby worse. She NEVER has a nice thing to say to him ever. He's ready to leave her. That is so sad.
Men need to be built up! Not tore down.
I think maybe God added someone to your prayer list. :)
Kisha thanks for the reminder. Sometimes it is easy to take the person next to you for granted. And, God forbid if we should lose him to another woman.
