I had a fight with my wife

[damo1]

thanks fez

some people are though at diffrent stages in their relationships i am not sure if its the filipino way my partner gives me the silent treatment for 2 days all i do is ask god to help me through those two days off silent treatment

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.......

Hi fez

that sounds like a good idea i do not think that their has been a marriage guidance thread

i know what you mean and i am already doing that listening and just letting her have her say and what it is that i need to work on yes its true we do not listen and its the same with our partners .my mother in law pushes me to just talk to her as i am learning when it comes to being married to a filipina

whats hard is when you have the whole family living under the one roof and your left on your own when given the silent treatment thats were lap top comes in handy and this forum do not know if its me being hear working hard in Australia but sometimes its like i am courting her like the first time i met my partner when i do get the chance to spend the time i need with my partner and daughter

at least my cat does not give me the silent treatment when i come back he greets me pets are good company they do not get up set my land lord looks after him

Isn't God's Word amazing? It's sharper than a two-edged sword and pierces the heart.

I often try to say to my wife: "Sweetie, is there anything I've done recently that has made you feel less loved?" And then I do something important: I shut my mouth and open my ears to listen to what she may have to say... She in turn will say: "Babe, is there anything I've done recently that has made you feel disrespected?" And then she does something important: She shuts her mouth and opens her ears to listen to what I may have to say...

We have a rule that we agreed on before we were married - if one spouse is mad the other spouse get's to kiss them until they are no longer mad. You'd be surprised how hard it is to stay mad at someone you love who's showering you with kisses.

The most important thing though is remembering that we're God's work in progress. We've learned to say "Will you forgive me?" as often as need be. Sometimes that's once a week and other times it's a few times a day. Also, remember the old saying that the one who apologizes (or eats humble pie as we say) first is the most mature.

God bless,

GE

Sure thing Damo. God bless you in the ministry there in the Phillipines. Isn't it great that we can connect with Christian brothers and sisters thousands of miles away? And yet we all serve the same God, have the same Savior, and want to point people to Jesus Christ.

God bless you!

Hi Golden Eagle

that is true and it amazes me how god speaks through so many diffrent people who are a part off this forum like you fez one light and many others our church in the philippines is not like the ones we are use to going to Golden Eagle it is a basket ball court with an extended roof with big fans no windows and no walls as its very hot there our church was planted by an american pastor its very mixed penticostal charasmatic evangelical the pastor is filipino we have a school attached to the main building which my daughter goes to and the teachers are all members off the church the pastors house is on the other side again not a big house like we are use to living in America and Australia

that is what i like about this forum it really ministers to guys like my self and it helps to connect with like minded brothers and sisters

god bless you and your family Golden Eagle
