I’m mad at some married women…
Michelle went to a wedding shower for one of our dear friends on Sunday. They played a game where everyone put marriage advice in a hat. One of the responses that my wife shared with me made me sick. This certain piece of advice was a downright lie, no doubt borne out of bitterness and frustration.
“If you want your husband to do more chores, put out more.”
If you marry a godly man, he’ll never put that expectation on you.
If you are a godly woman, you’ll never use sex as a bartering chip.
If you have a godly marriage, you’ll love and serve each other NO MATTER what.
Seek out a godly man.
Be a godly woman.
Have a godly marriage.

I really appreciate when Jay does stuff around the house, but I have never felt that I need to ‘put out’ just to get him to do something I want. Serving each others needs is important, but I hate the way people make it sound like a manipulation game. To be sure, making love and chores are ways of serving each other, which is SO important, but assuming that one causes the other takes the intimacy and love out of the equation and just makes it a relationship based on calculations.
