Lift Your Husband Up

Last night was small group. We talked more about changing our ways and not our husbands. It is great to be around a bunch of women that are going or have gone through the same things that I have.

The picture above reminds me of how I feel some times about Michael. I get so aggrevated about things he doesn't do, like cleaning the house. There are days that I just want to vacumn him up and forget about him. I feel that I could make it on my own without him taking up space. It is sad that I feel this way a lot.

From small group, I have learned that I need to change myself. I can't make him be my fantasy husband. He is who he is. I have also learned that I must lift him up. I shouldn't talk down on him. I don't have a problem with this most of the time. I will talk him up to anyone, except him. I never tell him what great joy he brings to my life. Since I know that he reads my blog, I am going to write a few of the great things about him that I love. Sorry if it gets sappy. I am really going to be working at telling him what a great job he has done.
