I too, am very guilty of my husband feeling like he is a fool. We have already raised all 7 of our children, so a lot of damage is already done. My husband wanted to move all the time, so after 7 children and 45 moves in 40 years it’s got me down. My husband has always been a clown, and other than having a job always wanted to just have fun with the kids. I had to homeschool, can all of our food, do all the finances, pack and unpack boxes all the time and I just got tired and bitter. I am 62 and I want the rest of our days together to be happy and pleasant. Is there hope for me? I feel like it’s a useless battle. I know the Lord is there, but I just seem to feel like I can’t do it. Do you know of any good Bible studies on Biblical womanhood. I truly would love to go through one. Thank you for listening.

After reading this article, I realize how guilty of that I am and that I am reaping the fruit of my labor in what’s going on in our home now. Is there a follow-up to this where you explain how to start picking up the pieces even though the children are now older and are not respectful? May God help ME to know how I can repair the damage that I have caused and give me greater love and understanding for my husband.

Thank you for this article! It has been very timely pointed out to me. I am so guilty as charged. Pray that I may be strengthened by Christ in me to do what is just and right, to have mercy, and to walk humbly with God. That my words would be life to their hearers.Thank you for shedding light on this subject. Grace be to you.

Thank you so much for your advice! I am so guilty for every time I have nagged my usband in front of my child. What damage this does to my child’s future! May the Lord be merciful on me and may my husband forgive me for making him look less than he is. This truth of being a much more respectful wife has to be my main goal from now on. Thanks again for opening my eyes!

I’m with Mel…very guilty, weak & don’t know how to change. But James 1:5 gives me great hope! God will give me wisdom as I ask him for it by faith. I truly desire to be a joyful, thankful, loving wife & mother. I want to build my home! If I really love my children, I will reverence my husband/their father! It’s just that I fail so often. But I cannot quit trying. The glory of the Lord, my children’s future, & a happy marriage are all good reasons to keep getting up when I fall. God’s grace is still amazing!

I have tried this approach for years, but my husband doesn’t respond with love. He takes advantage and walks all over me. He is easily upset and angered, violent, abusive to the children, etc. I don’t want my daughters to think it is okay for a man to treat them this way. It would be my worst nightmare for my girls to marry someone like their father.

How hard to hear, but oh so true! I stand up & say I am 1000% guilty of these things a million times over. I have & continue to be repentant of my state & need the LORD’s strength to be any different! In & of myself I am so weak & unable to change, but so desperately want to. Thank you so much for saying so. I don’t need any more excuses about my behavior regarding my husband. My children always take my side against Dad because I have shown & taught them he is weak & usually wrong. Shame on me. Thankfully I hope there is still time enough as our oldest is going on 9!

so true, once your eyes are open to this kind of discontentment, you see it in you and then in half your friends
