Is your husband living IN your home? Or on the corner of the rooftop?

So…he’s home from work, and you thought he’d be more excited to see you and filled with conversation?

After all, you’ve been home all day, anticipating his arrival, so you could *finally speak to another adult, right?

…maybe he’s exhausted from “putting out fires all day…?”

…maybe he just got chewed out by a customer?

…maybe his boss wrote him an email saying

his numbers aren’t where they need to be and anxiety is consuming him?

…maybe he’s riddled with the heaviness of increasing costs and not enough money?

…maybe he’s just tired…

I don’t know friend, there are a lot of “maybes”- so this might be a great opportunity to extend grace and show him love.

There are enough criticisms that he has to endure through out his day to day life in work. Your man doesn’t need you to be more critical of him when he walks through the door- quarreling and complaining that he “doesn’t love you” because “he has nothing much to say…”

Be his encourager. Be his hype girl. When he walks through the door, lift his weary head and kiss him. Be the soft place for him to land- the place where his “permanent smile” and “people pleasing” can rest…

Let home be a place of breath and peace.

Be his Helpmate.

It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

Proverbs 21:9

Is your husband currently trying to make his bed on top of your roof? We don’t know all of burdens that our men are carrying day to day…choose grace.
