Matrimony Monday

Corie's Corner presents...

During one of our gatherings, we had a discussion that began about education. Of course, this conversation took on a life of its own, it was very insightful and entertaining, evolving into many subtopics. Then this happened...

She Said: He doesn't know how to update his resume'.

He Said: I don't, she has always done it. 

She Said: I would prefer to show you how to do it.

He Said: For what? Wives are the administrators of the home. 

She Said: So what happens when I am not around to update it?

He Said: I will wait til you come home.

He Said: I will call Kendra or one of the other administrators (LOL).

She Said: That's not okay. It is a basic skill that an adult should have. What does the Bible say about teaching a man to fish?

He Said: It would be a waste of my time, babe. 

She Said: It bothers me that you don't care to learn a simple skill.

He Said: I didn't know this bothered you. 

She Said: Yep, anything could happen and you need to have some admin skills. 

He Said: You're better at it than I am. It's your strength.

She Said: You can't change careers without adopting new skills.

Friend Said: Does he need to go to school to gain skills and/or change careers?

She said: Absolutely. I get tired of him coming home physically beat down. He isn't getting any younger. It concerns me...

He Said: She got me there. Okay babe, I will learn how to do it...

She Said: ***crickets*** In my mind, "I will believe it when I see it

Her conclusion: While most wives are administrators (agreed) and I am indeed the admin person in our home (agreed), I disagree with the fact that He will not put forth an effort. That to me is unacceptable. 

His conclusion: Committed to the idea of learning how to do a resume' and be the back up admin.

In conclusion, we agree to disagree. I had been harboring this one for quite sometime, can y'all tell? I love our gatherings; I always leave spiritually fed, learning a lesson, and laughing til I am tired. That night was no different. 

Communicate + Capacity + Character = Change.
