When The Spouse Tells You To Let Her Drive 1/23/2025

 Good Morning,

A hot cup of Door County Country Morning Blend Coffee is next to me and it is time to write. 

Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 

Yesterday my wife Rene and I started on a long journey to be with our daughter for a few days. We are blessed to have family house sitting and taking care of our two dogs. 

I haven't been sleeping well lately at all. There are a lot of things on my mind. 

A few hours into our drive my eyes were becoming heavy and I was struggling to stay awake. Before I could say anything, Rene asked if we could stop for a few minutes and stretch our legs. I agreed with her idea. When I came out of a convenience store I found her in the drivers seat of the truck. "I am going to drive for a little bit" was her welcome  statement to her common sense decision. My pride did not get in the way and I was able to get about a 1.5 hour nap. 

There wasn't a fuss at all. My wife took over the situation when I wasn't thinking clearly. Her decision was made for our betterment and I will give always give in when it makes good sense.

We should never let ego or pride take over any family situation when it is what is best for the family. 

Food for thought. No matter the gender, honor each other and accept common sense ideas at all times.

Marty

  1. Woman was made to be a “help for the MAN.” What a wise woman and what a man who gives the right for his WOMAN to be a helper.
