The Playmaker

As a man, can you put dinner on the stove, chicken in the oven, plug hot water for the kids’ night bath, fold laundry, back a baby, talk on the phone while keeping an ear out for the others playing in their room, all at the same time?
A GOOD woman is an ASSET to the home...she is the playmaker in the team...the Joker in the deck of cards...everything revolves around her.

Unfortunately, a lot of men leave them on the bench and out of the picture when they are needed most. Women are natural ORGANIZERS, they are resilient, coordinated, devoted, and they can handle STRESS better than men. They are pillars and they are keepers.

As a married man, your wife’s resume should speak for her...if she manages the home well, she will help manage your life, time and finances well.

Who finds your missing documents, when you have no idea where you left ‘em? The wifey.

Who do you call, when you can’t find the purple tie that matches your shirt? The wifey.

Who hears, when the baby is crying in the middle of the night? The wifey.

Most men go around like “I don’t need help”...why did you get married then? Your wife is a help meet "And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him" -Genesis 2:18 ...let her fill her role.

I once read an attempt to define the word "meet" which said that it would mean facing from the opposite direction. This would be as a mirror. If a man has a woman standing in front of him looking at him, the view of them both together suddenly becomes a 360 degree view, rather than only a one sided view.

It’s not a competition...stop being egoistic. You be the Captain and let the playmaker do her thing...your life will be better for it. I pray healing for every ailing Marriage in Jesus’ name
