My husband and I disagreed about something. I did what I have always
done when I had a difference of opinion with someone. I called my Mum.
Before I could even finish my sentence, she asked me if I had prayed
about it yet. Before I could respond, she told me that she would not allow me
to...call her and complain about my husband to her, nor would she allow me to
discuss our arguments/disagreements with her.
I sat there stunned. Then she said something that has... stuck with
me for a very long time:
“My daughter, the thing is,because you love him the way you love
him, when the argument is over it’s over. But, I don’t love him the way you
love him, and it would be far too easy for me to pick up a grudge and carry it
if I think he is wrong. You can’t do that to me, or to him. It simply isn’t
fair.”
So the next time you want to narrate the fight in your marriage to a
third party ask yourself these questions:
Do I love my spouse?
Does the person I’m reporting to, love them the way I do?
Will they forgive them easily the way I will?
If any of the answers are NO, then don’t pass them on to be
crucified!!!
Your marriage is between you, your spouse and God Everyone else is
an outsider.
