Husband Wisdom

I was having a conversation today and something humorous came up that reminded me of something I read years ago and posted here. It's called Chocolate Sings and if you've never read it (especially if you're a husband) you really really (did I say really?) need to do that now, before you read another word. 

Go, off with you now. Okay, you've read it? Good!

Now, allow me to say that while I can only speak for myself, I do also speak for at least 97 trillion hundred bazillion million (at least) other wives who will swear in a court of law and before God that this is true and accurate and something all husbands should commit to memory. The sweetest husbands in the world always hover between the "safest" and "ultra-safe" category.  

Now, along those lines... I've posted a poll here in the upper right side bar and I really want MEN ONLY to take the poll.  Yes, the answers are obvious but I still want you to take the poll anyway.  Off with you now, go take that poll. For those reading through an rss reader:

"IF A SENSITIVE, RELATIVELY INSECURE WIFE SAYS TO HER HUSBAND "SHE'S SO MUCH PRETTIER THAN ME" HIS CORRECT RESPONSE SHOULD BE"

I'll post the results when the timer on the poll runs out in a few days.  (and no, I can't see who takes it so if you're a bumble head, I won't know who you are, or send your answer to your poor wife).

5 gems of wisdom:

  1. I would never get away with such a comment. My husband would take that as a comment that is manipulative.

  2. Do you mean the comment in the poll, Kim? I suppose there are women that would say it for that reason, but I was referring to women who might say it because they're insecure. Our culture and the promotion of impossible, fake, unattainable "beauty" has created a lot of women like this.

  3. I guess it would depend on why the woman was insecure and how deep her insecurity affected her. The flip side of insecurity is raging egomania. Sometimes, when I feel insecure, it could be because I think I deserve more attention than I am getting. Insecurity is definitely an issue, but sometimes, it's overdone and a reflection of when I'm not finding my sufficiency in Christ. I'd be curious to see how much of an issue it is in countries outside of North America.

  4. I haven't really given it a lot of thought, but I would suspect in countries especially where women are suppressed and treated like property they would have the same kinds of feelings of insecurity. I guess there might be a lot of different kinds of mistreatment or misconceptions that could cause this? Just thinking outloud here.

  5. Yes she is sweetheart. But remember I married you and I love you. Now where do you keep the waffle iron?

Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to share your thoughts on this. All I ask is that you keep it clean, on point, and respectful. Or I will send my beagle after you.
