Wednesdays are becoming my least favorite day of the week

This morning - not only could I not get my lazy butt out of bed, but my beloved decided she was going to vent her displeasure of my shower techniques. At first I said nothing, I mean really what was I going to say? I knew I was going to say something stupid but she would not let up. Finally I told her I've been doing this for fifteen years and I didn't think I'd be changing anytime soon. That was basically the trigger to get the day off to a 'wonderful' start. Add this to a few other things I've been stewing about (and have tried to talk about) I decided to just get out of the house quickly. It should be a long day. Verse for the day: Ephesians 5:25-33, ESV Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. [1] In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Ahh, marriage. The most complex of all human relationships. It's amazing that some things get easier over time, and some do not! Hope your day got better.
