From Different Planets

Let's be honest with one another. Sometimes. We women can be frustrating. Our husbands do not understand the way we view the world around us anymore than we understand them.

Husbands, I recognize it can be frustrating for you when your wife insists something is not right with a decision and she can't put her finger on it, so to speak. The tears that run freely down her cheeks during an argument are not normally a device to control you. She is more than likely just as frustrated about them as you are. She would much rather appear strong.

Men can begin to feel more than a little frustrated and bitter against their wives. That is exactly why this scripture appears in the text. "Husbands love your wives and do not be harsh with them" , or as some translations read, "do not be bitter toward them" (Colossians 3:19).
