He washed a frying pan sometime last year. My daughter happened to be over and had her camera with her!!!!

True story. I was in Dallas visiting my sister. My husband called me and told me I needed to come home, because he didn't know how to use the dishwasher.
Before we married he did not wash dishes, after he used them, he threw them away, and bought new ones.

My husband never cleans anything inside our house. He takes care of the yard. He is neat with his personal belongings so he doesn't make work for me. I would not be happy with that and would sit in the middle of the bed with my legs and arms crossed until he did something about it. I can't stand messy people - especially men. Thank God I didn't marry a slob!

Looking back on my childhood, I see how my mother and father made their marriage works all these years... They worked together.. They both worked full time... My father helped my mother with dishes.... It wasn't a strange sight to see my father vacuuming....2-3 times a day... They never fought... If you heard my father talk about women, you would think he didn't think they had any sense at all! lol I've heard my father say that the country started downhill when women were allowed to vote... but you let my father see a man mistreat his wife and see what happens... If he sees a man "demand" his wife do this or do that, he has his say-so about it.... and at the same time, he'll say women don't need to be behind the wheel of a car... lol... but he has the up most respect for my mother...

It's not about what you say, but what you do...

For years I listened to a preacher teach us about how men ought to treat their wives.... with such respect and so forth.... we went out to dinner with them and I heard part of their conversation that ended with, "you just take your place as a woman and keep your mouth shut"... well, I started laughing and started to make a joke about it .... but then I saw that he wasn't joking... so much for all that teaching.......

My husband is the most incredible! We don't fight... although I try to... In the 15 years we've known each other, we've never yelled and screamed at each other.... My parents never did and I would not have dated a guy that treated me disrespectful... nor would my father let me

I never saw any of this growing up, and did not know it existed until I got into church and noticed how married folks treated each other. All I knew is that I wanted a marriage like they had.

Thank God I have a good marriage today!

When I got into church, I saw people dropping like flies in divorce court! Sheesh, don't I have anything good to say??!!

When we got into church I was really big on making my marriage work and looking to others for examples of that. Most of the couples I knew in our church divorced including one couple that had pastored! This was the couple that taught us Search for Truth. Fortunately the pastor and his wife were not one of them!

WOW!!!

That must have been horrible! I had one very close friend get a divorce after seemly being so in love and so involved in ministry. He was handsome and was just starting to preach....then he fell into adultery. It got really ugly with so much gossip going around the church. He had such potential and it was ruined by this affair.
Divorce hurts many other people sometimes-well more like adultery.
