SATURDAY Q & A
QUESTION #1. My husband does not shower or brush his teeth before going to bed. How do I tell him to clean up?
ANSWER #1. I Will make a couple of suggestions.
First, I wouldn’t tell him, I would ask him to or make a suggestion. Then pray!
Second, along with that, you could add some incentives (sex). Think of things he likes and do them for him. Let him know that you are doing it for him so that he would practice cleanliness for you. Of course, change the wording to suit him. Then pray.
Third, if you ask and he tells you “NO”, and you try incentives and he still tells you “NO”, PRAY. The last thing you can do is just wait on God. It is not God’s fault, but in the mean time, the Holy Spirit will convict him. You will have to know that every night God is convicting him till he responds.
I know this must really hurt your feelings, but don’t take it personally. He is not trying to hurt you, he just doesn’t put any value in it. It is funny but some men would rather spend a whole Saturday polishing their old 50 Chevy then take a bath and put 20 minutes into their own body.
I am sure that there are other areas in your husband’s life that out shines what other men do. It is just that he has this bad habit. I always ask women, “Does he beat you?”. “Does he molest children?”. “Does he never work or is he a provider for you and his family?”
I think you get the picture. Thank God for the good things in him and leave the “bad habits” to God. He does a better job than us! Wink! Wink!!
(Part 2)
This has nothing to do with the question above but I thought you might enjoy this joke given to me called,
ALL WASHED UP.
Helping his wife wash the dishes, a minister protested, “This isn’t a man’s job.” “Oh, yes, it is”, his wife retorted, quoting 2 kings 21:13. “I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish wiping it, and turning it upside down.”
