Marriage Moment: He’s Right

Have you noticed how marriage has become a joke that everyone wants to be a part of until they no longer want to be a part of it. What I mean by that everyone wants to get married, then everyone jokes about marriage, then many want to get out of marriage. Everywhere you look, you see and hear people making jokes about marriage. I was just over at Pinterest perusing and time and again I saw pins that had jokes like the husband bowing to the wife holding out a credit card. There also are lot’s of jokes about whose right in the marriage, and usually those pins are claiming the woman is always right.

I particularly find this funny because in our marriage, I freely and lovingly admit that he, my Beloved is right far more often than I am. When friends here me do this they most often are SHOCKED. But I say it truthfully and honestly and because I seek to honor him above myself. You see, It was quite a while ago that I learned that it’s not about being right for the sake of being right, but rather we are in this together. We aren’t on opposite sides, we aren’t enemies. The need to be right all the time doesn’t make me a better person it only makes me selfish.

My Beloved is a good, loving, intelligent man. I have much I can learn from him. Why would I want to spend so much time arguing about who is right, when instead I can lovingly say, “I’m wrong.” When we work together as a team we are able to accomplish much more that when we argue over who is right and who is wrong. The think I love about him is he also is willing to admit when he is wrong, and when I am right.

Romans 12:3
For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

So for this marriage moment, I want to encourage you to lay aside the need to be right and instead work with your spouse to accomplish what ever the task before you is. I promise you once you learn to do this you will find a freedom that allows your marriage relationship to grow in unimaginable ways.
