| It's hard to be up and excited when your body is worn down. |
So I told him to get some rest and we would talk later, later came and I could hear the difference in his state of mind. I am so glad I know him well enough to know that his response to my initial call had nothing to do with me and that something must have transpired for him to sound so zapped of energy. I truly love when the Lord allows us to see each other's needs even across miles and on the phone. Today I honored my husband's emotional capacity by allowing myself to curtail my excitement with him until he could receive it in a way that allowed us both to feel good about it.
Wives of the world how do or can you honor your husband's emotional capacity? Sometimes things happen with us, for us or to us that we so desperately want to share that we lose sight of the state of mind of the other person. We then take it personal when they do not respond the way we would like. Unfortunately couples are not always on the same page and in the same state of mind. Away from each other we live different lives, you have your work and he has his and you don't know what each other are experiencing until you ask or are told. We have to respect and honor each others emotional capacity during those times and not cause each other to feel bad about not being where we are. Your husband is not you and you are not him so we have to respect the difference in our emotional capacity to allow each other to be free to be who we are in the moment. How do you need to honor your husband's emotional capacity today? Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.
Blessings,
Rochelle
