We're constantly putting out fires in every area of our lives, and we're just hoping to get the fires out and be able to keep going and do a fairly good job in all the different areas of our lives. What good can come out of a wife really considering what it's like for her husband to be married to her? If we take this question seriously-especially in our areas of weakness or in negative marriage patterns-it requires brutal and possibly painful honesty. Rather than have the closeness and excitement and wonderful communication that we wanted, we'll just settle for talking about surface things and we'll miss out on that intimacy. Yet if we don't ask ourselves that question, we'll get in a rut and we won't be honest about our marriages-we'll just go into neutral. Many of us women do that regularly when it comes to our jobs or our role as mothers, but often it just gets too tender and too close to consider, How am I coming across to my husband? Am I really being who God wants me to be and who I want to be? What is it like to be married to me? That's just really hard. Asking God to search us is a critical biblical concept.
