What I say to everyone who will listen, "What woman would not want to be under the protection of a man who loves Jesus enough to die for her?" hello??! The greatest line ever in "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" from the guy to the girl, "All I want you to have to do is wake up in the morning. I'll take it from there.." Wow. Give in girls. It's the sweetest release!<BR/><BR/>www.thepreacherswife.wordpress.comLisa @ The Preacher's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448791069728897001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-81115001174982781072007-02-10T14:38:00.000-06:002007-02-10T14:38:00.000-06:00Very well said, my friend.Very well said, my friend.Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797814680740510055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-89428101578934827922007-02-10T12:30:00.000-06:002007-02-10T12:30:00.000-06:00Amen and amen!

Also, I remember realizing that really and truly, (at least until our children get older), I am the ONLY person on the planet who can hurt my husband. He doesn't care what others think of him--but I hold the keys to his heart, and if I hurt him--even in little nit-picky naggy ways--I undermine the trust that is marriage.<BR/><BR/>Great postRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483570734127165995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-27923132620400238202007-02-09T21:46:00.000-06:002007-02-09T21:46:00.000-06:00Melanie, I visit your site from time to time and f...Melanie, <BR/><BR/>I visit your site from time to time and find that it is rich in wisdom and encouragement.

So although, it was never my intent to be self-centered, I can have this tendency. <BR/><BR/>This was SUCH a good reminder.<BR/><BR/>We can't change our husbands...only God can...but we need to focus first on ourselves and ask, How can I better meet my husband's needs?"<BR/><BR/>We only have to answer for ourselves...but usually when we take this attitude, God begins working on our spouse quietly in the background. And if not, we can at least be pleasing the Lord!<BR/><BR/>Wonderful post!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13932066100979969014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-45510353804043541122007-02-09T11:08:00.000-06:002007-02-09T11:08:00.000-06:00I have been lurking a while, but I wanted to let y...I have been lurking a while, but I wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your blog.
