Well, last weekend I had the opportunity to go to a live Love & Respect conference with Emmerson Eggerichs. It was great! I went alone and really think my husband would have benefitted from going. While I was there, I was really convicted that I am to act in obedience to God in respecting my husband. It doesn't matter that my husband doesn't deserve my respect. It doesn't matter that my husband isn't interested in "earning" my respect. It doesn't even matter that my husband in hateful toward me. In obedience to God, I am to respect him, and not expect anything in return.
Do I think my husband deserves my respect? No. But, that my friends, is irrelevant. Now, to just be able to do this when he sees he's done no wrong, and thinks I am the mental case...
