Grace

First let me start with, I LOVE MY HUSBAND honestly more than anything except our daughter, he is the best parts of my life.
Secondly, I have changed a lot in the past few years and am trying to better myself every day.
Thirdly, I read a blog my sister shared about how the most important thing missing in most marriages these days is Grace. Which is what really got me thinking about all this.

My hubby has really stepped up these past few weeks. I went back to work and was suddenly pulling 12-13 hour days and EVERY night I got home to a hot dinner and some clean dishes. How amazing is he right?!?!?! I was praising him to the women at work Friday, saying how great he has been, and all the shoulder massages I've been getting. He's just great! A few dialogs later I mention I had a sink full of dishes waiting for me for this weekend. The one woman looks at me and says "I thought your Husband was doing the dishes?"
 I replied, "Well yes but he doesn't really like doing them so he only really washes what he needs for that night."
Both woman immediately go off on tangents about how that would p**s them off and that s**t wouldn't fly in my house ect ect ect.
I just shake my head and say " at least he's trying I'm not gonna complain." Which to them was not satisfactory and they continued on their ways. Again I kept my mouths shut and just wondered at what kind of home life these women had.
Like I said earlier I haven't always been so nice even a year ago I probably would have agreed with them "If you're not going to do something right and all the way then don't bother.". My hubby can attest to that! I am not sure if I hit a new maturity level, I just got tired of fighting, or if I was touched by the grace of GOD but one day I realized how cruel and selfish and petty that mentality was. Someone is trying to help you and you're going to tell them they're doing it wrong!! B***H!!!
I am very humble about my faith, I read my bible, I pray constantly, and my relationship with GOD is my business no one elses. These women go to church, have their pastors/priests over for dinner, go on trips, the whole nine. While that is all fine and dandy I feel like if you don't exude the ways and teachings in all parts of your life, all the dues and communions aren't going to get you anywhere. Even I as a "rookie" believer can name handfuls of passages that praise humility and compassion.

I don't go around shouting about I found Jesus and this will probably be the most "religious" post I ever write, but honestly how can someone spend hours a week and 20% of their yearly earning and not walk away with more than I have reading alone in bed at night... I still believe if you're going to do something you should do it properly. There is nothing proper about tearing down your husband,  in front of a stranger no less.
