Men and women really are so different it’s almost difficult to comprehend sometimes how we manage to live together at all. God had purpose and design in our differences and we don’t appreciate what those purposes are often enough. We live in a culture that had emasculated men to a point they don’t even feel like leading is acceptable. It is time we celebrate the differences between men and women, not just in theory, but in real life in our marriages.
I really do desire the opinion of my husband, though I don't always act like it. Many of us have unfortunately shot our husbands opinions down so many times they are hesitant to even share their thoughts with us. This is an important area needing resolution in marriages today, especially our own.
Since my husband is STILL at work (day 3) I’m going to send him an email this morning telling him how much I appreciate his opinion. He needs to know I appreciate him as a counterpart and don’t expect him to be just like me.

This was my big struggle once reality of marriage set in. Actually I'm still in awe that I was given a wonderful husband. But I had a hard time learning how to merge together with him in making decisions in SO many things, since I was on my own for 5 yrs. But I love it now. I SEE how he has the qualities I lack, and vice versa and if I don't fight it, it works out beautifully. I DO need his perspective on things, I have to remember that always. This is part of my flesh, how could I make any plans without him? Am I gonna cut off my legs and leave them behind when I go on a walk? lol Anyhow, looking forward to sharing this info. with him later, there are some things we need to sit and plan together, so this is right on time.
