Your Husband is Just a Man.

Our meeting last week was an 'Ask the Mentors' meeting, where an entire MOPS meeting is devoted to moms asking Mentors anything.  It is one of our most talked about and popular meetings.  Questions often are about moms and the juggling we do with our children and husbands and ourselves.

One of our Mentors, Sandy Joseph, has a blog and before the meeting she posted the following.  Its a pretty simple thought but one that us wives need to repeat to ourselves often "Believe it or not, your husband is just a man."

For years, I had huge expectations and put pressure on Bill to be my all in all, to make me feel loved and secure. I was so frustrated and disappointed each time he did not live up to my expectations. I tried all kinds of woman manipulation (you know, crying, nagging, silence, Bible verses ….) to get him to do what I wanted. Yet, I was disappointed, not because Bill wasn’t trying, but because I needed to learn that no man/woman/child/friend can replace what only God can provide. My desire to be loved, secure and happy can only be found through my relationship with the living God.
