Being a husband is not about getting your way, or proving you are right, or convincing your spouse that they need to change. Being a husband is about sacrificing in such a way--being sacrificially kind, being sacrificially forgiving, and being sacrificially loving--that they change on account of the grace displayed in your life. Or, being a husband means laying down your life as Christ laid his life down for the church while she sat in sin. It is not the call to repentance that changes hearts; it is the news of grace given that enables and elicits the repentance in the first place.
Why is this so hard to learn?
