Thoughts

Sometimes people don’t change unless the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing.

helper not and not a manipulator

encourager/ nagger

motivator instead of a mutineer

endurer instead of a quitter

grace bearer- affection with holder

Nabal and abigail

Allow him to fail

encourage him

don’t compare him to other men

lead quitely- pick up the pieces in the background without rubbing it in his face

the kindness of God leads people to repentance.

1 Make Sure you are on the same page about responsibilities in the home. (communication)

a. Who takes out the garbage?

b. changing diapers

c. What decisions should the husband be making?

2. Most guys don’t lead because they struggle with insecurity (respect)

3. Is there a time or place to voice her concerns or make suggestions? having a hard conversation with someone is actually a sign of respect because you trust them to be able to have that conversation.

Patience- God is patient with you when you don’t know how to live out a truth in your life.

loving- God is loving trying to root out stubbornness and sin in you.
