Today’s Question:

What will you do if your husband doesn’t understand your job responsibilities, keeps bugging you while you are at work and finally forces you to quit?

Answer:
File for divorce!

In our part of the world men seem to desire a woman who will take care of the home well. And it goes unsaid that she has to mold her life to fit her spouse’s. I think it’s a byproduct of our male chauvinistic culture.

When two people live together they become teammates. Marriage is not just about sharing a house or a room; it includes sharing your dreams and hopes as well. It’s important in a marriage that each should be supportive of other’s dreams and recognize the responsibilities in ministry to which one may be called. I think a strong relationship has to come from two independently strong individuals who are in a relationship for all the right reasons; people who are strong enough to communicate honestly, admit their fears to one another, and mold their lives to fit each other’s.
