Love Dare Day 12
We have our big ultrasound today, the one that can tell you the sex of the baby. I have been so adamant about not wanting to know. We waited to know the sex on our previous to kids. My husband however would like to find out. I HATE that this challenge happens to be today. We will see if this is where I win the battle today.

yes, I can see you finding out, but be sure to let him know that you are doing it to put his preferences first.
Thats funny cause we have our next child I want to wait and Brian wants to know. That along with our children going to private or public school are two our disagreements. Unfortunately I don't really see how I can let him win. Both things are in the future and I couldn't think of anything else.
oh wow! praying for you. I'm thinking maybe like gen said be sure and share with amos first (and genuinely!) that you really want his preferences to be before yours out of love and respect for him, see what happens. maybe he'll change his mind. I think also of the other side of the garden...oh this is so sensitive i know! I've been in the same situation adn you just dont want to know! But honoring your husband will bring you honor, and God knows whats best for you. maybe you knowing now will be a benefit despite what you want! Anyhow, praying for you. p.s. consider doctor only telling amos and not you. and ask amos if he'll not share it with you! hmmmm As for james and i, we actually don't not agree on much. i've yielded to many things, one being how to save money, because I trust james will do the right thing. i don't like it necessarily, but the word says him being head over our household is a benefit to us. smaller things, we both yield on depending on the situation. if i tend to get argumentative, i just drop it and let him have his way. funny because then usually he'll change his mind anyhow. i guess for now into our marriage things are going as best as can be, i just pray we don't forget this as life goes on.
what did you decide to do?
He ended up putting my prefrence first. I loving told him he had been so gracious with waiting on the last 2 and I was happy to let him find out if he wanted to on this one. He ended up deciding to wait because he knows it helps me later in the pregnancy. He ended up blessing me. I was REALLY surprised. I woke up just knowing that by the end of the day I would know the sex of the baby growing inside me. I can't say I completed this challenge today because we didn't argure over anything else.
I've decided to just apply this to everyday battles anyway. It is a good rule to live by.
@ emily- who wants public? who wants private? Maybe you can submit to his leadership knowing that God will protect your children in whatever choice is made.
@ Jennifer- it's so true. God almost always just blesses our obedience to submit to our husbands. Then we are not only blessed in our obedience, but God works out what was really best in the situation anyway. often it was what we originally wanted...like me yesterday!!!
