Your thoughts about your husband have more to do with your heart, your past, your wounds, and your selfishness than they have to do with what hubby is or is not doing.

Do you agree with that? Or does it make you angry? Or maybe both!

Lori and I have worked hard to be able to see when we’re doing this. I don’t mean when the other does it to us, that’s pretty obvious. What I want is to learn to know when I’ve just misunderstood or misjudged my wife based on my biases. I want to feel it when my response is inappropriate apart from being coloured by my past. Ideally, I want to be so aware of this so I can stop before I do it, but I can settle for realising I’ve done it and confessing that and asking for forgiveness in seconds rather than hours, or days, or never.
