He is accountable for every thing that goes on in his home, including the spiritual health of his family.<br><br>My husband and I submit unto one another but I always always let him have the final say and make the decision because I know ultimately he is going to be the one held accountable for that choice. If I don't agree with what he has chosen I try and point out why and show him why this or that is not sound but if he still chooses to go on with what ever it is then it is on his head but I still submit to it. <br><br>I use the example of buying a car. He wanted to buy a used car that I knew we could not afford at the time. I tried to tell him that but he wasn't hearing me. So I let him go threw the whole process of looking and doing the paper work with out nagging or being negative. When it came to signing the papers he took a night to think about it, and that is when I asked him to write down all our bills and income and how much the car is going to cost us and the added insurance. He did and came back thanking me for helping him and saving him from a big mistake and he thanked me for doing it in love and not being one of those wives who cant wait for their husbands to make a mistake so they can nag about it to the ground. It doesn't always work out that well but that is just one example.<br><br>We are going threw the same thing with maybe buying a house. I don't think it is the right time but he does. So I will go threw it with him and if he finds the right one and thinks this is what we should do I will submit to that. Because I know my husband loves me and our family and only will do what is best for us and that he does pray over everything he does I can be confidant when I submit to him. I know not every wife has that luxury.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-41667279410781441672005-05-04T12:51:00.000-05:002005-05-04T12:51:00.000-05:00Good post today as usual.

It is surprising how often a few days later, He'll submit the same idea as if it were his own! (lol) The Lord has made you wise for your years, as our hubbys do get enough stress and harping from the world and do not need added burdens from us. - BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
