I suspect it was potentially due to immaturity on my part. Additionally , I had not been married long enough to know better than to claim those things. I will not leave this one picture of Mrs Job in the tale without clarifying the record in her defense.

You can not keep living like this, I will not stand it. Curse God, and let Him take you home to be with Him”? I believe so. She is reached her limit and is ready to allow him go.

I am not justifying the lady’s reasoning as much as making an attempt to understand it. Always guard your words when your partner is going thru very tough times. Principally , I would like you to remember : going thru sustained difficult times weakens most men. For some reason, hardship seems to reinforce ladies ; we admire you for that. But we men are weakened when times of affliction hit and stay. In our weakened condition we lose our objectivity, often our stability. We become exposed, and most men don’t understand how to handle themselves in an exposed mental state.

So given all of this—hear me—we need your clear perspective, knowledge, and religious strength. Most of all, we need you to hope for us as you have never prayed. We need not just your requests, we need your emotional support. We need you to take the lead and step up. We need your words of confidence and support. I eventually admitted it and learned the simple way to say it. In the forsaken hours of a person’s great trial, no-one’s words mean more to him than his other half’s words. That’s one of the God-given reasons you and your other half were called to be together. When we partners lose our way, you other halves help us find our way back.
