Catch Your Husband Being Good

So often in marriage a spouse looks for the bad stuff in the other person.
Wives seem to be particularly susceptible to pointing out every little infraction in their husbands, ready to pounce at the least provocation. Perhaps that is why Peter encouraged women to win their husbands over without a word (1 Peter 3:1). After all, Peter was married; he was no stranger to the nagging woman, most likely.
Come on, ladies, admit it--you've fallen into the trap of incessantly following your husband around the house, harping on this or that. Take heart, you're not alone.
Been there, done that, much to my (Eileen) chagrin. Instead of reap the desired response, it pushed Chuck further into his cave and made me look like a moron.
Why just the other week, the Holy Spirit was nudging me in this painful department. At His prompting, I became increasingly aware that at every turn I was pointing out negative stuff in Chuck's life, hoping that my words would "help" him see my point. To make it worse, this is a man whose love language is words of affirmation.
So, this week, I'm asking the LORD to help me focus on the good stuff. What is my man doing right? (And there is always something, ladies, that he is doing right).
Just looked at the clock . . . he's on his way home for supper . . . deep breath . . . look for the good, the right, and the lovely. Compliment him on a job well done today. Thank him for being the wonderful provider he is. In other words, respect him with my words. Give him what he craves so much--words that build up, not tear down.And then sit back and watch the wonder of a good word spoken in right circumstances.
Okay, ready, set, go . . . PRAY for me! I'll do the same for you.
