here's a strange take on this one.
notice that the descriptions that the man is talking about are much more extensive than the woman's? I think that's intentional.
Women, in general, need more of that kind of communication from us, than we do from them. Sometimes when we are getting ready to go out for dinner, or something along those lines, Kim will say, "how do I look?" If I'm honest, at that point.....I've already failed. I need to be telling her that she looks beautiful before she asks.
I heard a sermon once that differentiated the thought process of marraige, between men and women. When men say "I do" the mean "I think you are beautiful, you are a COMPLETE turn on to me, and I love you forever". Once we say that, we feel like we are good. She should know everyday that I still feel that way, at least until I tell her differently. But, sadly, women don't think that way. They need us to be telling them how awesome we think they are, how their teeth looks like a flock of sheep coming out of the wash.
I need to work on this one!

I may be mistaken here but I'm not sure Gina does want me telling how great I think she looks all the time. she is quick to discount it, I will ask her if I do it too much or not enough or just right. I like the sermon, it definitely shouldn't be the end but the beginning--i try to make sure I tell her I love her everyday.
ReplyDeleteI think you need to pick some different complement verses, maybe tell her how her yabbos are like sweet clusters of dates--that gets them every time. ;)

Anytime I can work the word "yabbo" into a sentence, that's a good day.
