View Full Version : What one thing would he change about you?

I'll have to ask him to be sure, but I think he'd like me to not think I'm right so much of the time. It's in my nature to pick out flaws in arguments and to second guess things, and while that's not bad in moderation, I do it to a fault with him.
I think that it stems from a lack of humility in my heart. Really, if I were more humble, a lot of sins in my life would die a quick death. I read a great book on humility last year, but I've forgotten a lot of it. :o So, we ordered it from Amazon(I got it from the library last time), and we're both going to read it regularly. Probably a good idea, seeing as both of our biggest faults really stem from a lack of humility.
What you mean I'm not perfect? :rofl :lmao
Hmmmm... David I know for a fact would change my stressy side, he really would- but more for me than himself, he does hate the fact I get so much in a state of panic with things that are often beyond my control. I know alot of the time he does wish i could take on more of his easy going nature.
Ohhh and actually -tied in with that- I know he wishes I could learn not to let my family emotionally drive me like they often do... again, entirely for my own well being though, not his.
You know the nice thing though? He also makes it very clear to me the things he'd never change about me and it makes me feel all loved just knowing that ;)

Oh yes, Steve is very good about that too. In fact, I sometimes wonder if he is part of the reason I'm not humble. :lmao He is always, always, always telling me what an awesome wife I am, and that I'm the best, that he loves me so much, that I'm a great mom, that I'm funny(seriously, he is about the only one on the planet that thinks that! :giggle), that I'm a great cook, and so on and so on.

I also tend to get stressed fairly often...not quite sure why though:rofl, but he says I tend to get bitchy.... I think it would probably be that.

The ability to get pregnant so easily! :giggle
Seriously, he asked yesterday what happened to the neat freak he married. Everything use to have a place and be in it before we had kids. Since then, our house is anything but orderly and I don't care. As long as it's clean, which it is, I don't care about the few toys left on the floor, the shoes not being out of sight. So many more important things now. So I think he'd like for me now to be more like I was in that area then.
Raising my voice when I'm angry. It drives Sean insane.
He'd probably make me a lot skinnier, and stop me being such a control freak. That's what I'd choose if I were him, anyway.
(P.S., I could ask him but I can almost guarantee there's no way I'd get a straight answer out of him. He's so non-confrontational he'd rather fib and say he doesn't have any complaints than tell the truth. :rolleyes)

I think Dave wishes I were less emotional. I know he gets stressed when I cry. ;)

I have an almost obsessive need to be right about everything. Most of the time, I am right (hee hee), but even when I'm not, I don't like to admit it. He tolerates it most of the time, but I'm sure it can be difficult. I could use some of that humility too Kristen! I remember a bible study I took once and the teacher talking about how most sin stems from the sin of pride. That's a tough one though.

He'd give me a higher self-esteem/more self-confidence.

Tobye, this book (http://www.amazon.com/Humility-Greatness-C-J-Mahaney/dp/1590523261/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1214422671&sr=8-1) is a really great one on humility. I highly recommend it. :thumbsup Although I haven't got this down pat, God has used it to help me at least make some progress in understanding and combating this sin.
As far as I know, his #1 complaint is not enough sex. So he would probably change that about me.

THe very first thing that came to mind was, he'd give me more self esteem. It frustrates him to no end how down I can get on myself.

If I could change 1 thing I would like to be taller, of course then I would be thinner too!
