Taking a break from our Love is series to tell you about the real life situation that has brought the posts so far to life. So far I have written about patience and kindness. I had to bring my A game with both of these today in our marriage.
Today we had an estimate and a job. Both of which were pretty simple and easy for the most part but my hubby was just in some kind of mood today. I'm not sure if it was the rain or because we had a wicked long week last week but he was just complaining and snappy today. Instead of reacting with an attitude (for the most part because I'm not perfect 😂) , I tried to use patience and kind words with him while working. It does work ladies! It took a little while of maintaining a calm spirit and using kind words to change the vibe but it did and we ended the day good.
If I had fed off of his attitude this day could've gone the complete opposite way ending in a toxic fight. Since there was calm and kindness we are enjoying a wonderful night.
Be sure to be putting these Love is posts into action. Let's create environments where our spouses can let down their walls and feel safe to be okay. People with problems such as addictions or narcissistic tendencies are hurt themselves so as their wives let's work towards staying kind and calm so they have a steady foundation.
