I love to make people laugh and I recently had the opportunity to get a good laugh at my husband’s expense. I am so glad that I chose not to. A few minutes later another woman stood up to “praise” her husband. Her words were full of sarcasm and verbal jabs. I felt embarrassed for her and for her husband.
Early in our marriage a wise man told us to never criticize each other in public. That advice has been so good for our relationship over the years. Husbands need to be respected, not belittled.
The desire to say negative things about your spouse to others reveals unresolved anger in your heart and is a sure sign that you need to talk to someone— your spouse. If communication has broken down completely, go together to see your pastor or a counselor.
Don’t let bitterness poison your marriage. Make sure that your next good laugh is one that you enjoy together.
