I readily admit that I am exhausting. My wife is a saint!

Unusual for a man to realize that he increases her effort or stress, to be honest. They always seem incredulous, when their wives complain. 🤷‍♀️

This seems to be a cause of the "everything seemed fine and then she threw a fit, had a meltdown, and stormed out".

And the thing the *New Guy* invariably promises is more free time. They seem to all understand how desperate many wives are for things like 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep or the opportunity to read a book, undisturbed.

I generally live by this principle: I am the biggest sinner I know.

It has a tendency to align my attitude toward treating others with grace and humility. And if there is one thing absolutely necessary for a peaceful marriage, it is grace for sin.

Amen.
