No Longer Quivering
This is a series looking at the marriage advice given in Nancy Campbell’s book ‘How to Encourage Your Husband’.
While packing for a move I have turned up are books, terrible idiotic books filled with toxic advice. One of those books is by Nancy Campbell of Above Rubies ‘How to Encourage Your Husband’. I think I ended up with this book in the aftermath of leaving my old church, given to me by one of my former friends that thought it would ‘help’ my marriage since in her eyes my husband leaving our old church meant that I wasn’t doing my job of wife well enough. Reading through this book now I cannot help but laugh at some of the suggestions. The book is entirely written by commenters and comments from Nancy Campbell’s website.
He’s Not a Child
I have found that the best way to encourage my husband is not to be his mother. He is not a child and should not be treated as such.
The husband is the head of the home and should not be scolded or nagged by his wife.
Unfortunately, I am still reaping the results of the years I didn’t follow this advice. My husband thanks me for not scolding him when he is late, and I can tell he is nervous coming into the house.
He’s still nervous she’s going to attack him for coming home late? Sounds, dare I say it, childish.
