It means a lot that you would take the time. <BR/><BR/>I guess I'm not usually full of a lot of complaints. My husband and I have worked really hard to have an very open and honest relationship. I definitely make sure I have not chosen the worst times to discuss a concern that I may have. But, I just don't think it's healthy to advise a couple to "edit" themselves...especially pastor's wives who, so many times, is already required to "edit" themselves in so many other areas of their lives.<BR/><BR/>But, all of that is my own experience and my view. I completely respect that everyone has a different perspective and a different take on how to best run the race. <BR/><BR/>Thank you again for taking the time to respond to me. I appreciate it!Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653083042889096348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273706212232036223.post-84158523752407122582009-01-14T21:11:00.000-05:002009-01-14T21:11:00.000-05:00Glenda,The intention was not to tell PW's to keep ...Glenda,<BR/><BR/>The intention was not to tell PW's to keep all their complaints to themselves but to pick and choose wisely as Sandra shared in her comment. I think pastors need a safe space where they can get away from church stuff and hopefully home is that place. That safe space needs to be one of nurturing, positivity, and encouragement.<BR/>Surely there are times when honest discussions need to take place but choose them wisely is my request.trevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819090280936428778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273706212232036223.post-8855225606085421252009-01-14T20:14:00.000-05:002009-01-14T20:14:00.000-05:00Thank you both for the comments.

Please remember that this is just one PH's perspective (but probably one that is shared by other PHs) and you are free to disagree with him... and anything else on this blog, for that matter. We love it when you tell us when you think we've missed the mark.

When I feel this way I take my complaints to God first. My husband doesn't really want to be so busy either, so knowing that I'm unhappy about it makes it worse. If I believe he is sinfully neglecting us, I prayerfully discuss it with him. But if it's just me having a pity party, I keep it to myself!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561506700047571339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273706212232036223.post-37317418116806554372009-01-14T17:18:00.000-05:002009-01-14T17:18:00.000-05:00i'm pretty new to this blog and maybe i'm complete...i'm pretty new to this blog and maybe i'm completely missing it, but, after reading this post, i felt very chastised. i feel that we all need to be reminded that whining and complaining is never a good way to communicate, but i also believe we all need to be reminded that (hopefully) our opinions, concerns and thoughts are valuable to our husbands. again, maybe i completely misread the tone and point of the post, but it seemed to present the view that if we have an issue we should keep it to ourselves.Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653083042889096348noreply@blogger.com
