E92// Tired of being his caretaker? How to get your husband to help out around the house more

Trying to maintain an image of a respectable family - which you have, except that your husband shows up much less than you let on. I see you, making excuses for him when he doesn’t show up to church, a family event, or an invitation to a friends house. I see you. searching for community, trying, what it seems like - all on your own to build a stronger faith foundation in your home. 

 

I see you mama, trying to keep it quiet because you don’t wan’t anyone thinking bad about your husband. He is a good man. He loves you. He loves your kids. You just wish he would show up in more new areas - like  pray for the family, lead the family, show the loving soft heart of Jesus towards others.
