I have been mulling this post over in my mind for a few weeks now. It stared when I read a cute little post from a lady who was celebrating her 5th wedding anniversary. She listed about 20 things that a wife should know. They were cute, and funny, however I thought they were a little demeaning. She made it sound like her husband was a 5 year old (I know, sometimes they seem to act like a 5 year old, but heck they aren’t!). It got me to thinking about what our husbands really need. I think it comes down to two things
1. He needs to feel like a King in his castle, the head of the family, the boss, the CEO, the hero, the provider.
2. He needs a soft place to land.
I will write more about these later.
I agree!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! =)
I find myself making demeaning comments about my husband sometimes. It’s definitely something I need to work on. Not only should I hold my tongue, I need to begin building him up! Thanks for the reminder. 😉
I agree. In fact I won’t comment much more than that because it’s one of my touchy subjects and no one wants me on my soap box. But I did have a good friend, who is such a better person than I, that said every time she heard a woman speak ill of her husband she couldn’t help but think that “her husband wasn’t perfect either, but neither was she and as far as she was concerned he had more to forgive than she did.” I think we get too caught up in generalizing men and forget to see our hubby’s for who they really are. Plus anytime you have an issue with someone else, you can usually look at yourself and find at least half the problem.
Oh look at that my I’m not going to comment much just turned into half a page. I told you I shouldn’t have gotten started.
