30 years ago there was a wonderful couple in the church.... The wife often complained to me about her husband: he wasn’t stepping up to his role as leader, disappointed in him for not being more spiritual… I did not get it… I was not in the middle of their house and so can’t say exactly what the daily family dynamics were like, but to me he was a wonderful Christian man that loved the Lord Jesus Christ. What was the problem? If I knew then what I know now, I’m thinking I could perhaps help her come to a greater understanding of what it means to be married. She was a strong personality; he was passive by nature. I cannot believe when two people are married before God he expects them to change their personalities and become something that is not in them….People grow. People can change. But they also have a personality; their minds are wired a certain way; they have skills and interests.
