I am trying to catch up on my blog reading and I finally read about Time-Warp Wife's Evaluation Checklist. Basically, I am answer these questions and reveal if I am a good wife, or not.
- Am I patient with my husband when he and I disagree? I am usually patient in that I stifle my opinion until forced to give it at times. Other than that, um... no.
- Am I as kind to my family as I am to the cashier at the supermarket? I believe in politeness, but honestly, I am not that kind to them. Don't they deserve that much and more? Most of the time :-)
- Am I jealous of my husband's friends or of the time he spends at work? Or do I trust his judgement in these areas? Oh yeah. I can definitely get jealous, especially when he is in school and I can't get any time with him.
- Am I humble enough to back down from an argument, or do I fight to be right? I let some arguments wash over me, but when we fight, I fight to be right....see my post from the other day.
- Do I honor my husband when I speak of him to our children? No, we do a lot of joking and recently I clued into the fact that it may have gone too far, now.
- Do I protect his honor by speaking well of him to my family and friends? Yes. This is something I have learned and strived for recently.
- Do I give up both the things and the time that I want in order to fulfill the needs of my family first? Usually.
- Do I share my concerns with him in a polite and loving manner or do I tend to nag and be rude? Yeah, I am rude a lot, but I don succeed in sharing concerns politely more frequently lately, I think.
- Do I let go of anger or am I holding on to old baggage? I couldn't fit any more baggage onto the roof of my new van, but most of it doesn't involve him.
- Am I usually fighting with my husband or am I fighting for my marriage? Honestly, I am on the fence on that one. Usually when I am fighting with my husband lately, it's not even about him. It's about my own anger and past hurts.
