Summary

“I try so hard to work on communicating better with my husband. I don’t understand why I still can’t manage to have a happy marriage.” “I deserve to have a good marriage, so why am I struggling with loving my husband? After all, isn’t this marriage a blessing from God?” “I’m tired of being the one making an effort. I’ve tried so hard to do what the Bible says, so why hasn’t God made my marriage easier?” “I just did all the laundry, put groceries away, cooked dinner, and kept the kids alive. Don’t I deserve to take a break?” You don’t sound very happy, Linda. You sound disappointed in your marriage, with your husband, and even with God. I’m right, aren’t I? You’re starting to get uncomfortable, aren’t you? I see you… cuz I’ve been you, and I get it. We think we deserve some things from our husbands, and even from God. We should get a certain outcome for our hard work. Y’all. I’ma tell you why you might be feeling this way today’s episode, but, Linda, listen. I’m saying this with the same tough love I needed and still need sometimes: Girl, you've an attitude problem (and so do I).
