Neal & I have listened to some of Mark's DVDs and laughed our heads off! Our all time favorite is when he talk about a husband's "nothing box". We've also learned a few things from him AS we laughed our heads off. His sense of humor is...well humorous to say the least!
Today's post from him is worth posting on my blog because I know it's sooo true! I struggled with this issue and I KNOW you who are wives and reading this have too. Maybe you're still there. Either way, it's a good word not only to read and say, "that was really good", but actually PUT INTO PRACTICE!
Enjoy.
"Most women are willing to show respect to their husbands, but they want the man to act respectable first. They are willing to show respect, but want their men to be worthy of it. If a woman will learn to risk respecting her man when he is not perfect, he will open his heart to her and will become pliable to change. A man needs respect to feel safe enough to open up. When he feels he is being looked up to as the "head" in a relationship, he will automatically allow his wife to become the neck — she will be able to point her man in the right direction! Women generally have no idea how much sway they have over a man. The ancient Jewish proverb says, 'The wise woman builds her house,' but 'a disgraceful wife is like decay to his bones.' A wife is either building up or tearing him down her husband. "
