One of the keys to a happy and successful marriage is mutual understanding. It is next to impossible to live with a person you are always trying to "figure out." Understanding must not be mistaken for "remodeling." No one likes to be made over - especially if it is your husband trying to do it. This only tends to make the sparks fly.
Understanding means accepting a person as he is for what he is. We are able to help each other but desirable changes are made only through patience, love, understanding and never by conflict. Accept him for himself - not the man you want him to be.
We can do far more to establish a firm foundation by appreciation than by criticism. You must believe in your hubby! Trust him with your whole heart, confide in him, pray with him and for him, cooperate with him, shield him, cheer him, be patient when things go wrong. Also please be trusting on what you do. If you lie to him, then you need to confess to him that you did lie and not blame it on the kids. The put downs have to go; that's being hypocritical. James 5:16 - "Confess your faults one to another...." great verse! All of this will give understanding and you are on the same page as him and love just is inevitable! ....and happiness!
