just a thought: the other day i was in my son's classroom listening to the conversations there. the boys were grossed out by the girls, the girls grossed out by the boys. a parent helper was encouraging her daughter's dislike of the boys saying, "yep, they have cooties! they're gross!" it was all in fun but i thought how interesting... sometimes we never really outgrow that belief. we so often think our husbands are gross and "below" us. no wonder we wives never let them lead!
so this is just a small encouragement- because i need it just as much as anyone else... gals, strive to appreciate the "boys" in your life in every way, even if they seem as aliens to you.
i found some wonderful boy books that might help with this. read them together and laugh a lot.

I agree. We need to change the way that we think about our husbands. It's true that they are just little boys in big bodies, but do we show them that we love them as much as we do our little boys? They need us too just as much. Even more really. They're out trying to survive every day in the harsh world striving to make a living to provide for us. They need OUR appreciation and acceptance. And you know the truth is....we really don't want them to be just like us. We need them just the way that God created them.

ReplyDeletegood thoughts, Joyce! I like that you said, "we need them..." that is so right. I am convinced that if the world were all women (or all men), we would have killed each other off a long time ago :)
