... guilty of being a "bad news bearer" when my husband walks in the door. Do I barrage him with all the bad news of my day or do I make his homecoming a welcoming, peaceful experience?
So as a tip for today, when your husband arrives home, listen to yourself and begin to replace bad news with pleasant words and good news. Unless it is an absolute emergency, wait for a good time to address any challenging issues.
Anxiety in the heart of a man weighs it down, but a good word makes it glad. Proverbs 12:25 NAS

I practice keeping my mouth shut when hubby comes home and just listening to him talk about his day. He eventually gets around to asking me about my day.
ReplyDeleteMomsweb,
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! You're truly a generous wife.
What a great tip! I'm guilty of being the bearer of bad news :(
ReplyDeleteHi Penelope
ReplyDeleteThanks. The good thing about it is that once we are still alive we can change our behavior patterns. Isn't that great. Everyday is a day to start over.
