I DON\u2019T know if you\u2019ve seen one but there are square watermelons now. Of course people are trying to figure out how making a square watermelon is possible. Normally the fruit is oblong. But, somebody somewhere decided to try growing a watermelon in a square container. The idea was to control the size of a watermelon so that it can easily sit in the refrigerator. They force the watermelon to readjust from its natural tendency to become oblong, to a new shape determined by the environment.<\/p>\n
If a man feels like he\u2019s got an oblong wife who\u2019s going in the wrong direction, maybe the environment she is growing in doesn\u2019t allow her to change her natural shape. A husband has the power to set the tone and to change the environment.623<\/p>\n
[Marriage; Spiritual Transformation]<\/p>\n
Rom. 12:2; Eph. 5:25\u201333<\/p>\n
WINSTON Churchill and Lady Astor both served in the British Parliament, but they could not stand each other. Winston Churchill couldn\u2019t stand Lady Astor and Lady Astor couldn\u2019t stand Winston Churchill. One day, Lady Astor went up to Winston Churchill and said, \u201cIf I were your wife, I\u2019d put arsenic in your tea.\u201d Winston Churchill said, \u201cAnd if I were your husband, I\u2019d drink it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Many men feel that to go home is to go to the local graveyard, because that\u2019s where death lives.624<\/p>\n
[Marriage, Unhappiness in; Women, and Their Husbands]<\/p>\n
Prov. 21:9; 21:19; 27:15<\/p>\n
MEN must be careful to purposefully honor their wives. If not done purposefully, time and familiarity have a way of wearing down even the nicest guys.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s like the guy who married the lady who caught a cold every year of their marriage. The first year he said, \u201cSugar, darling, this cold is making you mighty uncomfortable. Why don\u2019t you let your lover boy take his baby to the doctor to get rid of this nasty cough?\u201d<\/p>\n
The second year of marriage he said, \u201cDarling, that cold seems to be getting worse. Why don\u2019t you go call Dr. Miller?\u201d<\/p>\n
The third year of marriage he said, \u201cYou better lie down and rest with that cold before the baby wakes up.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the fourth year of marriage, he told her, \u201cBe sensible now and take care of that cold before it gets any worse.\u201d<\/p>\n
By the fifth year of marriage, he would say to her, \u201cYou\u2019ll be all right, just take some aspirin. By the way, how about ironing these pants for me to wear today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Six years into marriage, the husband would tell his wife, \u201cWould you do something about that cold and stop barking like a seal?\u201d<\/p>\n
By the seventh year of marriage he sounded something like this: \u201cWoman, do something about that cold before you give me pneumonia.\u201d625<\/p>\n
