This past Sunday afternoon my wife and I went to
a well-known lake in our town.
While there, we sat on a bench, fed ducks and swans, and talked.
It was a great time.
Especially the talking part.
... Because we talked about how we could live with more togetherness in our marriage... as opposed to us each separately doing our own
thing.
Now before you think what a wonderful husband I am for taking my wife lakeside to talk about togetherness, I have to confess... it was her idea.
And it was a good one.
Because too often husbands like me are too absorbed in our own worlds to include our wives in a togetherness kind of way.
And that's a mistake.
God gives husbands a wife as a gift and helpmate... in order to fulfill God's call to rule and cultivate your part of the world side by side (Genesis 2:18).
So...
If you're a married man, don't leave your wife on the outside of what you're up to.
Bring her in.
You need her help.
And it's God's design.
And... if it's something the two of you ought to talk about, do better than I did...
You be the one to start the conversation!
