Read the article, agree with the premise! The issue for men is that we desire things from our wives that we find hard to emotionally articulate. Our wives don’t truly understand because they “see” things differently. Almost sounds like a hopeless situation. BUT it’s not!
Ultimately, it boils down to serving one another. You don’t have to understand the why of “it” for “it” to work, you just have to do “it” because it is needed for their security and inner peace.
The problem, for both, is when one tries and is rejected or fails. The failure/rejection tends to scream “run away before you’re hurt”. Humanity abhors vulnerability because we WANT to be loved and feel loved.
Lastly, my observation for articles like this is, one side reads what the other needs, yet turns it around to “why should I, since they don’t…”. I know the why, but it doesn’t HELP fix the problem.
Marriage will grow WHEN you give more than you expect to get! WHY?? Because unmet expectations are deadly if pondered on very long…
Oh well, enough rambling…
PRAY, Serve, Love…Win!
