It's interesting that the writer first focus' on the woman never being spiteful. This is at the heart of a relationship between a man and a woman. If a woman is spiteful towards her husband then she is not respecting him. If she is not respecting him he does not feel loved. Wow, already I can tell this is going to be a great journey.
Haha, I didn't realize I would be starting out with the hardest one out of this whole list.
I mean I don't consciously think to myself that I'm going to be spiteful, but I have moments when I'm not very pleasant and I am spiteful. I do desire harm when i fight with my husband, I do hold a grudge sometimes and I certainly do struggle with bitterness.
Man, this is some really heavy stuff. Ok I'll contemplate this for now and I will write more later with some verses I can find about how to adjust my attitude.
Also can you please pray.... I feel things have been weird the last week with my husband and I, I don't know why. Please pray that God would work it out.
Thank you!
"weird" is often an attack... i have been there... and i struggle with this one, too... lifting you up on your journey!!
