I had a fight with my wife

[Fez]

Hey, it happens, we are not perfect. It was a "domestic" that we will have forgotten about in a day or two, even what it was about. And I guess if we were all to be honest, these things happen. I don't hide them from friends, or family or church. Like "Hi Fez how's things", me.."No so hot, having a fight with South at the moment".

But God is amazing, and I thank Him that our marriage is built on His foundation. (House on a rock and all that good stuff....you know what I mean).

Anyway, we started making amends tonight, you lot who are married know how that goes, sometimes pride makes it hard to be the first one to act... Tonight it was South (prideful old me was still like a bear with a sore head in the corner). Well it was her fault after all...

And then I logged on, more to keep my mind distracted I must admit, than to do the mod thing.

And that's when God spoke to prideful old me.

First post I saw was an old one of mine someone had found, about being fearfully made, and just how awesome God is. (Pride 0 - God 1)

Then I looked at a post by Goldeneagle about a God Fearing man, and one of the posts, this one...

Ecc. 4:9-12

9 Two are better than one,

Because they have a good reward for their labor.

10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.

But woe to him who is alone when he falls,

For he has no one to help him up.

11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm;

But how can one be warm alone?

12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.

And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Leaped out at me, because it is one of South's favorites, especially verse 11. (Pride 0 - God 2)

So I thought, Ok, Lord, Ok i get the message.

Then I saw Georges devotion - "Bloom where you are planted"

South's favorite saying, being the international traveler she is, is, you guessed it, "Blossom where you are planted". (Pride 0 - God 3)

Prideful old me was taught a lesson just by logging on. God is amazing (Checkmate)

Think I might just go and hug my wife.

God Bless, now go do the same, and tell her it's from Fez.

my daughter always makes sure i am ok during those periods were you are not told what you have done wrong i have learnt just to be a good husband do what i can to help even if it means leaving a red rose on her pillow or helping my mother in law with the house work and cooking the main meal

Bless you damo!

Next time you get the silent treatment try this. Give it about four or five hours. By then the steam has stopped coming out of her ears..... Just work up to her and say "I don't know whats wrong, but know this, I love you".

I can guarantee you that the silent treatment will stop. You may then have to do every males worst nightmare... Which is listen

Don't interrupt unless it is to agree with her, and even if you feel a bit put out, swallow your pride and listen. Most of us men don't do enough listening, and often nor do wives. We all like to talk.

As to the helping around the house? 10 points for that!

Maybe we should start a marriage guidance thread on Worthy.......
