Posing Question To Me

Here's a question I was asked this week: Does the feeling of entrapment only happen late in life, or does it sometimes occur earlier?

I believe the majority of divorces can be traced to disrespect and marital claustrophobia. In simple every day plain language ladies...that's when you put a chain around your husband's neck or ankle and want him trapped in the home just because you are bored or want to control his life. LET GO and let him breathe!!!!

If a husband feels trapped in the home and is only doing you a favor by working to provide for you and the family, then check out your chain because if you pitch a fit, it adds stress, lies, ill-feelings, entrapment which is very dangerous in your married life. You are devaluing him, trying to make him wimpy and lacking confidence in yourself. Please try to be grateful for all his hard work and appreciative of his wisdom of plain ole honesty and integrity in reaching goals that are attained. And while I'm on the subject.....teach your kids to love and respect their Daddy for caring enough to reach those goals. Kids learn all this from you, Mom, so have some rock solid character and behind their Daddy's back don't rip him apart.

I recently had the privilege of speaking to a Ladies' Meeting that brought out this subject......was I brave? Yes. Did they like it? No. It goes against society's dictation....but I say, be different....go the positive way and maintain a healthy, loving, kind statement household!

Philippians 2:3 says "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves." Have a happy Tuesday! Trust the Lord to help you in every way and e-mail me if your questions need deeper answers.
