So hubby and I were having friendly disagreement and I pushed and pushed till he finally got so irritated he walked away. And I am thinking "great now its a fight", "why did I have to insist my point of view?" In the past I would do this all the time and it didn't even matter if I was right or not, its like I had to be "right". The most insignificant thing turns into such a battle. God has reveled to me that the more I talk and talk the less my man can hear the Holy Spirit because he is too busy listening to what all I have to say. If I could stop, he could listen to God and then maybe God can tell him how right I am. lol. Sometimes its best to bite your tongue and just go to the Lord.
BTW, hubby and I kissed and made up. (it only took about 20 hours!)
HA! this truly made me laugh, because it sounds just like us..
whenever an argument is over, it's like..what was the point of that! nagging and arguing just drives the person away. i've really learned through the years that having a more passive attitude and just going about things calmly is always the best way. of course, i'll have to remind myself of this all the time..who doesn't get in arguments! i've also learned that even if my husband's wrong, if i'm patient and let it all blow over...he realizes he's been wrong or acted like a fool in the end because i kept my mouth shut and let him look like the loony :)
so i'm so glad you realized what god wanted for you and the hardest part is to keep it in mind, right?!
tell me about it! Putting into play is what makes the difference. Thanks!
IM SO AFRAID...
