Since I became a ...Thank you and God for this blog! Since I became a full time housewife, I’ve been feeling more and more disrespected and unheard by my husband. I blamed him and hated him for the way I was feeling and had a kickass self-pity party every night! I even dreamed of meeting a thoughtful and sensitive guy, a type that you only see in a romance novel (of course) as my way of revenge. Tonight wasn’t any different. I was regurgitating one sentence my husband said tonight, and turning it into something absolutely different when I came across your blog. After reading it, I felt the hands of enemy being lifted away from me. I need to give my husband to my Lord and let Him take care of my husband. One human can merely change other human being. I can hang onto that one sentence and be so bitter and unpleasant or give it to the Lord and be my happy self. Also, my husband is not disrespectful, he just doesn’t know how to sugar coat it, and I did fall in love with him for it. <br />I would love to share it on my Facebook pg, but I’m afraid people might speculation how I ended up here. Hahaha <br />God bless you!Maryhttp://www.facebook.com/monkeyhanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-18095816798360234652010-03-23T13:01:12.347-04:002010-03-23T13:01:12.347-04:00Excellent words of wisdom.

I would also add that when I was faced with a similar situation I added two things to my prayers...that God would change my heart/mind and increase my love for my husband. He has done all this and more but these changes take time.

Sometimes I find that if I am not getting respect, that I may not be completely giving it -perhaps even in a "subtle way" (that's just ME being brutally honest about MYSELF!).

That is the confidence we have in Christ... that He is pleased with our efforts and loves & accepts us actively regardless of our spouse's respone.Edna Jamisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335199671884090166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-52423790775953626942010-03-22T13:45:16.561-04:002010-03-22T13:45:16.561-04:00Thank you for linking up to Marriage Mondays today...Thank you for linking up to Marriage Mondays today.

My husband is 19 and a half yrs older than me. I married for the first time at age 37 (now 41). Marriage is a tough adjustment when you're older, and not to mention I had no idea how to use faith nor did I have have any faith. However, I always felt and knew I was Christian and Jesus was the Son of God. But I never really understood why or how to use faith and give my struggles and troubles to "the cross". And God does have his plans... My Italian (old fashion), New York, hard-headed husband, that drives me crazy, brought me to learn my faith through the Catholic Church. Regardless, I'm thankful for all Christian faith-feedback that helps feed the soul with encouragement through God's Word. However hard-headed my husband is, he's not as hard-hearted, so for that I am grateful! Thanks to Courtney and all of those who share their comments. Our thoughts become our words and words become action! AMEN! I needed to read this message today. God Bless you!jmc1002https://www.blogger.com/profile/02067722553463190280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-65688533401103228952010-03-22T09:32:27.474-04:002010-03-22T09:32:27.474-04:00Wow!

Yesterdays message at church was as if he was speaking directly to me and now this morning. Like the others, I also have a husband that has his disrespectful moments and it hurts. Sometimes it hurts so much that it makes me question how someone could claim to love someone and then hurt them so badly. I have been praying not only for my husband, but for myself as well. I have loved doing this Proverbs 31 study and loved focusing on being a Proverbs 31 wife. It has helped me so much. (Thanks Courtney!).Renénoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-4848280995424073352010-03-22T08:10:03.183-04:002010-03-22T08:10:03.183-04:00I started doing this in December and I found my ma...I started doing this in December and I found my marriage improved 100%. And he was so relieved to not have to deal with the silent treatment or the issue being strung out all day. I find comfort in knowing that I have told him how I feel and that he knows. I had to learn to get on with things. I am not going to leave my husband ever. There is no point in dragging it out for hours. It just makes for a bad day for everyone. It serves no purpose. So now I go on w/a happy heart and continue to be the Prov.31 wife God wants me to be. : ) Great advice Courtney! (BTW My husband has a track record for being disrespectful quite often but I am praying for a change of heart).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-77382303729475924692010-03-22T08:02:11.862-04:002010-03-22T08:02:11.862-04:00Great thoughts Courtney!

I would also add that you should also pray that God helps you with your feelings and also that He would change the heart of your husband and if be His will, to convict him on his actions. The power of praying for your husband cannot be underestimated! I cannot tell you how many times I have prayed for my husband and God moves his heart in a way my nagging, crying and complaining could never do!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853147086906439337noreply@blogger.com
