So, after reading this chapter, I didn't feel that I related as much to
it as I have the others. Though I understand the concept and believe
Mary has a point-i felt that especially being married now- and even
prior to being married- I wasn't very manipulative in my
relationships - at least i don't think i was..It isn't that I don't see
girls using different modes of persuasion to get what they want-
sexually, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and even circumstantially-
we can see this all around us..maybe because I feel like my husband
won't stand to be manipulated- he can see straight threw or because I'm
not a good liar?? :) I just don't feel that in my relationship with him
that I use manipulation to get what I want- I see the benefit of seeking
to honor God in our relationship-which then leads me to trying to be
the best that I can be in our relationship- obviously not stating that
there are not hardships, etc.. But manipulation does not lead to being
respectful of the other person..
Anyways, this chapter was interesting and full of Biblical examples of
stories- I really liked that- made it easier to identify things of today
with things from the Bible times.
Here's to another week of working on being wise in our everyday lives. Hope you both have a great 4th of July!!
Blessings,
Hannah
