Lousy Father

Your job is to be the Helper, in other words, to be the Holy Spirit to him. The Holy Spirit is gentle and affectionate. 


Nobody is perfect. When there is expectation, there is disappointment. Expect nothing. But when you expect him to be a good father or a father at all, you will be disappointed. His time will come when his time comes.


We have no right to judge even if we have been praying through for our husbands everyday. What if Smith Wigglesworth's wife gave up on him? Some people need more prayer and more time.


It is our job to educate our kids on what marriage is supposed to look like -- never bad mouth our spouses, always respecting, even those who do not respect us in return. We are not mirror images of our spouses. We are mirrors images of Jesus. 


If we fail to teach our kids on what commitment looks like, they will have just as bad a marriage when they grow up. And it falls on us.


If your husband has not been unfaithful to you, you do not have a reasonable excuse to divorce him.
