Tell me this. Is there a wife, maybe you included. wife that comes to your mind when I ask you this? Is there a wife you can think of that doesn't like to hear her husband is always going to be there for her? Can you think of anyone? Anyone?
"Hearing pretend crickets." Well, not actually. However, I probably would be if I actually was to ask that question to other wives and then later to wait and hear their response.
Am I right? I would most definitely say that I am right.
Because, that is what makes perfect sense! That's not what I would like to hear from my husband.
Now, don't get me wrong folks.
I totally agree with you when you say there's no guarantee your husband will say they will be there for you or that they won't be there for you. How am I supposed to know that? So, no. I'm not about to pull a Hocus Pocus saying where I have the magic potion to your husband always being there for you. No, you even said it for yourself. Ain't nobody going to be able to predict that!
Think about it. You don't want to hear from your husband this. "Oh baby, I'm never going to be there for you!" Uh... What? Doesn't that just sound awkward?
I don't know about the rest of you but I think so. Word of advice, how much do you know I mean Almost 100% know for sure your husband I will be there for you most of the times? I mean, you know he will try his hardest to be there for you the majority of the time? Then, that should be good enough.
Pause break. I once was told from my pastor, fellow Christian friends, and I think you've been read before this.
Really some good advice that I know wood be helpful for other married couples. And that is this. Try to stay away from saying the words "always" and "never." Why do I say that? Because we are human and there's no guarantee that we will always be honest with those words. There's no guarantee that we will never fail some one with those words.
So, to reiterate letting your spouse know that you will try by working hard to do something you really would like to change about yourself for them? Or, letting them know you
will try not to fail them with XYZ.....
Or, even letting them know that you will try your best to always be there for them?
Like I said, that should be enough. But, please be careful how, when, in what context and why you'would say that. You do not want to utilize the will try as a cop out. You all know what I'm talking about. Don't think that needs elaboration.
Friends, only one person can use those two words. And, that's God. Remember, with him anything is possible! His word will always remain. He says never will he leave ua!
Let's recap a little bit about my reading today. First of all, is your spouse always going to be there for you? I think the answer is I don't know. That's just something none of us will ever know. That's definitely something that would be nice. But, again that's unknown. Lastly,
There really is no guarantee you will be genuine when you use the words always and never. Try not to say those two words. And, it should be good enough to let your spouse know that you will definitely try.
Remember, God is the only one who is allowed to use the words
Always and Never! God is always going to be there for us! God is never going to leave or forsake us!
I also think that when we read in the Bible something about this. If we read God does not do this or God doesn't do that? Even if he doesn't say always or never? I mean, come on we are talking about God! Shouldn't that just be a given thought?
I mean I would think so. God... Always or God never.... See?
I told you that it just sounds right.
Hope this reading is very helpful for you husbands and wives! Please let me know if my advice was helpful for you guys! Have a great Monday!
2nd Corinthians 9:8
