The Holy Bible: Proverbs 24: 19-20 💡

[Will Knowland @beherleader]

Not every repeated correction from your wife is nagging.

Sometimes it's charity.

A wife is not virtuous because she silently watches her husband become lazy, disorganised, intemperate, harsh, passive, prayerless, unreliable, or addicted to comfort.

She is not a better wife because she smiles while his word becomes worthless.

She is not more submissive because she refuses to oppose his vice.

A good wife wants her husband’s good.

And his good is not his comfort.

His good is virtue.

So if she says:

“You said you’d do this.”
“You keep putting this off.”
“You’re on your phone every night.”
“You’re getting harsh with the kids.”
“You haven’t prayed with us in weeks.”
“You keep avoiding this conversation.”
“You’re not following through.”

…your first move should not be, Why is she nagging me?

Your first move should be:

Is she opposing something in me that actually needs to die?

That question will make a weak man defensive.

But it will make a serious man examine himself.

Correction is not rebellion

A wife correcting her husband’s vice does not overthrow his headship.

She is not “usurping authority” because she names a real moral disorder.

She is acting as a wife.

A helpmeet is not a mute spectator. She helps him toward the good. And sometimes help sounds like warning, opposition, reminder, protest, even rebuke.

Of course, she can do this badly.

She can correct with contempt.
She can exaggerate.
She can repeat herself from anxiety rather than charity.
She can weaponise truth to wound rather than heal.

That must be addressed.

But don't hide behind her imperfect delivery to avoid the truth she is carrying.

Many men do exactly that.

They make the whole conversation about her tone because they don’t want to face their vice.

“She shouldn’t have said it like that.”

Fine.

But did she tell the truth?

Did you say you would do it and fail?
Did you drift again?
Did you make her carry what you promised to carry?
Did your sloth, avoidance, or disorder create the very correction you now resent?

Then receive the correction like a Christian man.

Not like a sulking boy.

When her correction becomes nagging

There is still a difference between charitable correction and nagging.

Charitable correction aims at your good.

Nagging aims at pressure, control, or emotional discharge.

Charitable correction is ordered by reason.

Nagging is often ruled by anxiety or resentment.

Charitable correction names the fault and calls you upward.

Nagging circles the fault endlessly and makes the home bitter.

But here is the trap:

Men often call it “nagging” before they have done the moral work of discerning whether she is right.

That is cowardice with a masculine accent.

A husband should be able to say:

“Your tone was sharp, and we can talk about that. But you’re right: I have been unreliable here.”

That sentence would save many marriages.

Because it separates two issues:

- her manner
- and your fault

A weak man collapses them.

A virtuous man distinguishes them.

Your wife should not have to become your conscience

There is also a deeper shame here.

Your wife should not have to drag you toward ordinary virtue.

She should not have to remind you to pray.
She should not have to beg you to finish basic duties.
She should not have to supervise your screen habits.
She should not have to keep calling you back from sloth.
She should not have to become the voice of responsibility in the home.

When she does, you may resent the sound of her voice.

But the deeper problem is that you have stopped listening to the voice of conscience.

So God uses the person closest to you.

And you call her annoying.

Be careful...

The correction you keep dismissing as nagging may be one of the mercies God is using to pull you back into order.

@blakeaburge I love this.🥹

Major cheat code for life: Assume good things are still ahead. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not disqualified by your past. One new season can change the entire story. Keep showing up with belief. The best chapters are often written after the hardest ones.

I love crane birds. My fav dinosaur birds ☺️

[Wholesome Side of 𝕏 @itsme_urstruly]

One of the pairs of Sandhill Cranes doing their mating dance for each other.

It starts out so graceful and balletic and quickly dissolves into drunk party dancing. I absolutely love it and I had no idea they did this.

@nosliwmj Yeah FR, and kiss your wife more.

[The Noble Mare @Thenoblemare]

@melodymlyons I love when my husband comes home. Or just arrives where I am. It always gives me a happy feeling. Even if we are fighting.

[Peggi @PeggiBosquez]

I am going to chime in on a sensitive subject. I was 45 years old when I found out that I was pregnant. I wasn't in a great space. Ngl I figured that I was going to not be able to carry my baby to term. So many horror stories. I was sent to a genetic counselor. My baby was ultrasounded frequently. I was told that I needed so many tests.I wasn't married to my hubby at this time. We decided that no matter what, our child deserved a life. My hubby is a hard man. But he was not going to not let our child be harmed in any way. Maybe I am just fortunate . But I truly think that many people are making choices based on bs and selfishness. Totally my opinion. I am so glad that I didn't listen to the experts. My last child has totally changed my life for the better. Just my 2 cents. She is pretty amazing.

Reminder for all young parents:

You only get:
- 1 Summer with your baby
- 3 with your toddler
- 9 with your child
- 5 with your teenager

This time is precious. Don’t rush it.

Your kids will become like you, and so you must become more like God.

This realization is what drives the sudden maturity of new fathers.

Does probable mean she's probably going to play or not play? Makes no sense. And yes the GTD is getting old. I think they'll leave her out against the fire because they think they can win again without her. We'll see. Indy is getting ridiculous. Put her somewhere they appreciate her.

I'm a new follower on YT & here. I remember watching one of your videos recently and you were calling someone the anti gravity, was it Reece lol idk? Anyway did you see the new WMBA stat called Gravity? Its based off players that pull the most defenders.. but CC is no where near the top of the list. Its wild! Your always showing how she pulls multiple defenders. So idk about this new "stat" but it seems WRONG. Maybe you'll cover this? Enjoy your videos on You tube!
