Men are told to live with their wives in an understanding way. We are all told to speak the truth in love, so communication is important. If our spouse seems distant or grumpy, perhaps there’s a reason and we’re involved in that somehow. Try to understand it. If you put your arm around your wife and she moves away, maybe her neck hurts. We might take it as rejection but there might we something else going on. It’s good to seek to understand and it’s good to communicate what we think. A friend nicely told me they didn’t like something I suggested and I love that straightforward approach! Might as well state what you think plainly and simply and then I know. I’m not typically offended by the truth because I see a lot of value in it. But not everyone enjoys having teeth drilled without Novocain lol, so tact does have an important place. But I want the truth straight up, so communicate your likes and dislikes with your spouse! If you don’t like steak and I’m about to grill you a steak, might as well tell me right now so I can switch to tofu! Or whatever it is that non-steak eaters are into. I say that tongue in cheek of course! But you get my drift! We have endless problems at times because we aren’t communicating! Have a good weekend and enjoy this fall weather!! ~~ Bill
