James;
You are right about the tables being turned, and I agree that we have contributed to why our wives feel the way they do. Yes, God is pointing out areas that need improvement, and I am sure that His plan is for this improvement to take place, BUT what else?

There are many ways we could have(and probably already have)been told, we missed it or got it and didn't make it perminent. Unfortunately, this may be the only way He can get it into our thick heads and stone hearts.

I think another lesson is unconditional love. We all say we love our spouse and would do anything for them, do we really mean it? I think just about everyone on this BB could answer in the affirmative, because we have. As christians, we are called to immitate Christ, and love others as He has loved us. A tall order, but I certainly feel closer to the mark now then before.

The list of lessons is probably endless, what about our spouses? What are their lessons?
