Dear Loving Husbands,
I just want to say more grease to your elbows and I hope I can join your company someday soon. You guys are truly living it the way it is meant to be...sacrificing yourself for the good of the family, especially your wives; truly loving and honoring your wives :wink: .
Anyway, as a tribute to you folks (both GSSO and non-GSSO loving husbands :lol: ), I have decided to post a brief quotation from the book
If Only He Knew by Gary Smalley that shows how a husband offends his wife (loving husbands recognize them and stay away, but genuinely apologize when they fail):
(2) Not valuing her opinions.
(3) Showing more attention to other people than her.
(4) Not listening to her or not understanding what she feels is important.
(5) Closing her out by not talking or listening to her (the silent treatment).
(7) Not scheduling special time to be with her.
(12) Making jokes about areas of her life.
(13) Making sarcastic statements about her.
(14) Insulting her in front of others.
(18] Nagging her in harshness.
(20) Raising your voice at her.
(22) Swearing or using foul language in her presence.
(23) Correcting her in public.
(24) Being tactless when pointing out her weaknesses or blind spots.
(27) Pressuring her when she is already feeling low or offended.
(28] Lecturing her when she needs to be comforted, encouraged, or treated gently.
(29) Breaking promises without any explanation or without being asked to be released from the promise.
(30) Telling her how wonderful other women are and comparing her to other women.
IN FACT, I WILL USE THIS AS A BRAIN TEASER: With each day that passes starting March 1st (if I remember), I will delete a line from the quotation above until it is down to the last 10. I want to know who can figure out how I determine which one to delete next...I\'ll resign as the Daddy to whoever gets it right IF it\'s at all possible :twisted: :mrgreen:
