Can your husband tell you anything?

What if he tells you he wants to buy a houseboat, own a goat farm, pursue an acting career in New York, is addicted to pornography, is being shown attention by a woman at work, has had an affair and is sorry, etc.?

How do you respond when your husband tells you his dreams?

How do you respond when he tells you his struggles?

Do you cry and pout?

Do you try to show him his irrationality?

Do you ignore him?

Do you support him?

Do you love him unconditionally and forgive him?

We are told to do well, and not to be afraid with any amazement or sudden calamity.

Your husband needs you.

You are his help.

Do not abandon him, physically, emotionally, or spiritually!
