I am married to the woman in the picture above.  Doreen is wise in many ways.  In light of me counseling some married folks recently, Doreen shared her insight with me:

“Our jobs as wives is not to make our husbands who we want them to be.  Rather, it’s to encourage them to become who God has created them to be.”

Seems like pretty clear counsel, but how many of us follow it?  And by the way, this also applies to us husbands!
