Although a good woman can lift up a poor husband, a good man cannot make up for the deficits of a poor wife and create a family with a good reputation. Debi Pearl
The Pearls commented at a conference we went to years ago that they have counseled many men...It didn't change the marriage. When they counseled women, marriages changed. I guess it goes along with the verse that states that they {husbands} may be won over without words {from their wives}. No such promise is given to men.
Should this upset us? Say, "That's not fair?" NOOOO!!! It is amazing the power that God has given women to change a marriage....basically by not arguing, being joyful, serving, and loving! Be excited about that. After I read Debi's book, I felt empowered, like I had the keys to a great marriage. I tried it and it worked. You should try it also. A great marriage is priceless!
{Now I understand that there are some real bad men out there that no matter how happy and unselfish you are, it wouldn't change a thing. One of my first posts was about this: Judas or Peter. So this isn't a formula that works in all marriages, just most of them.}
