CHAPTER 7
MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS
Communication Is:
1. very important to keep the marriage happy
2. talk to him at the right times
3. and allow him the freedom to disagree with you
4. ask him what his thoughts are on the subject and don’t try to TELL him what they should
be according
to you)
5. go to him for decisions:
a. he’ll learn to become spiritual and lead
b. YOU learn to follow him
c. give him room to make mistakes
There are different ways to communicate:
1. just being in the same room together, not necessarily talking
2. sharing an event, a revelation or something special
3. going out together without the children, having time to walking arm in arm, or holding hands
and being
alone
If your upset over a situation:
1. wait until you’ve cooled down
2. come to him calmly & collectively
3. present your case
4. wait for his comments
5. a lot of times it is just a miscommunication or misunderstanding, or something that he did
not realize
6. You’ll feel so much better and
a. you didn’t sin or demand
b. you didn’t hurt him in anger
c. you didn’t lose your temper and rant and rave
d. you did it in the Godly way, and pleased the Lord
IN PUBLIC:
Let your husband be the leader. Don’t take over the conversation and do all the talking. He
appears weak and you appear too strong when this happens. And NEVER correct him in public,
even if he slips on a fact or two.
So what! The moon may be yellow to us, but maybe that night he saw it as blue. So what! I have
seen so many women correct their husbands about every little thing their husbands say, and first
of all it looks terrible to the people watching, and secondly it demeans him in front of others and
he wishes he could crawl in a hole and die. Be courteous and be a lady who shows
graciousness. Graciousness is a quality that is so lacking in our society today. How many
“ladies” do you know today? Let us each try to be one and show grace and courtesy and self
control in our mannerism. If we possess these qualities in our own lives then we will be able to
teach these virtues to our children as well, and they will see us as their example.
JEALOUSLY:
This is our opportunity to die to self, if we will take it and not run from the opportunity. Sweetly let
him know how you feel and examine yourself to see if you are wrong. If you are jealous, DIE and
pray about it until the victory comes. I find that when I am jealous or when any other sin crops up
in my mind, I have to do spiritual warfare over that thought and DIE to it. I have to yield to the Holy
Spirit, bite my tongue and attitude, and pray for victory. God hears our prayers and WILL answer
them; especially when we are crying out for His help to overcome a sin our lives.
POSSESSIVENESS:
Let him go and as you let him go he will come back to you. A man hates to feel smothered and
controlled by his woman. He wants to feel free and choose to come to you, to be with you, to do
things for you. Not feel like he HAS TO!
Again the same remedy is the same. Prayer is the answer and repentance. By confessing our
sins before God, and crying out for His help. Then the Holy Spirit gives us the power to “become
the sons of God” and gives us the power to overcome our sins. And then we find that
possessiveness, jealousy, lovelessness, crankiness, and any other sin that we may struggle with
begins to gradually (or overnight sometimes) lessen until it doesn’t seem like it’s there any more.
This is the victory we can have through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Oh how I love Him so much, and am so thankful that I am His. I don’t know how the world gets
through this life without His love, guidance and protection. Well, they don’t, very well.
I want to thank our dear son, John Kehrli, for building me this beautiful website. I am so proud of it and hope that you too will enjoy the things he has put on this site to make it meaningful to you.
