On your wedding day, you usually think you know the man you’re marrying pretty well. Wouldn’t you agree? I doubt that there are too many women who walk down the aisle thinking, “who is this person I’m about to marry?”And yet some time after the “I do’s” are said to each other before God, and several (if not many) witnesses, there are a lot of women who complain because their husband’s are different than what they thought, and they want an explanation.

We’ve personally heard quite a few women say, “Who is this man I married? He’s nothing like the person I thought I married!” (And to be honest, many men have said the same thing about their wives.)

Wouldn’t it be nice if, on our wedding day, we were handed a manual that explains why our spouse does what he or she does, or says what she or she says? Or even a small “cheat sheet” would be nice!

Well, here’s a little tidbit from one man that might give some insight to some of you about your husband:

“While we husbands benefit greatly from being married, we often don’t communicate it well. Women are into relational nuances—the meaning behind the meaning behind the meaning. Men basically wonder if there are any more mashed potatoes.” (Ron Lee)

Now, not all men are this way, in fact, some of them are quite different. That is the uniqueness of human beings. The Bible says we are “wonderfully and fearfully” “woven together” in a way that God knows and understands. But it sure would be nice if we understood some of the mysteries of our spouse!

We can learn a lot in the Bible, but there is still a lot more we have to learn through other means as our “Wonderful Counselor” the Holy Spirit guides us and helps us. We just have to be pro-active and pray and listen and see and read.

While we can’t supply a lot of information for you here. We are providing a link to an article posted on the web site for Today’s Christian Woman, that might at least help some of us gain a little better understanding of our husbands.

It’s written my Ron Lee and it’s one man’s “take” on “why men act the way they do.”
