I'm far from perfect. I am discouraged today...marriages have their share of struggles or should I say the people within the marriage have their share of struggles.I am beside myside this morning. I have cried a ton of tears, cried long into the early mornings and shook with disgust the consequences that follow from ignoring living a simplistic and balanced life. No amount of 'COMMUNICATION' penetrates my husband's neglectful ways.
I could pull my hair out of my head due to the frustration that comes from a husband that at times is so hard headed and neglectful about finances.
The hurt that comes from being ignored is tiresome and painful.
This may not sound like a happy place right now. Today it isn't. It has been a ongoing struggle that shouldn't be. Truly, you cannot change another's poor habits. Talking has gone nowhere. Working out a plan has gone nowhere. Praying about the situation. I am the one that needs to change. Those things that I cannot change in another person are a fact...they are there. I am the one that has the need of changing. If I grow more callus toward my husband...there will be a distance that grows and will cause more challenges that will not help the situation.
I don't understand how wanting a happy home~happy marriage stays happy when the husband
repeatedly ignores what hurts the wife.
The husband's prayers will be hindered when he is at odds with his wife. That's not very exciting or comforting.
When the husband and wife are not on the same page about the nuts and bolts of running a household...it can cause strife...it can create a tense environment...it generally causes problems that just don't disappear on their own. Rolling up your sleeves and working hard at getting to the bottom of the problems will require an effort. Pretending that if we close a blind eye to interior problems within the home will make the problem vanish...is delusional.
Wisdom from the Lord is needed. Willingness to change is needed. Working together is needed.
