Blog Description

This is a space for dream words, love words, flying words, fall down, and get up words. First it begins inside your heart. Something moves, opens, frees itself. And now you feel a rhythm breaking it's long silence. This is going to be good. Be creative. Be generous. Be bold. For it is here that we begin to tell our story.

Operation Better Wife : Wake Up Call for Wives

We hear a lot about how men should/shouldn't treat women... but too often, i fear, people are too afraid to tell women how they should/shouldn't treat men. So here I go. 

Women: Please keep in mind that I believe most of you are fantastic wives striving to provide a good home/environment for your husbands. What I share is not to criticize or point fingers, simply to help those who wish to improve.


Men: Don't think that just because I am speaking to women, you don't still have faults as well.


With that said...


"The wife, also should treat the husband with the greatest respect and courtesy. Her words to him should not be keen and cutting and sarcastic. She should not pass slurs or insinuations at him. She should not nag him. She should not try to arouse his anger or make things unpleasant about the home. The wife should be a joy to her husband, and she should live and conduct herself at home so the home will be the most joyous, the most blessed place on earth to her husband. This should be the condition of the husband, wife, the father and the mother, within the sacred precinct of that holy place, the home." - Gospel Doctrine, 283-284
There's always room for improvement, right?
