Compartments...

Assume the best
If your husband is frustrated, don't take it personally.
My husband describes men as having compartments.  They put their fear in one, their work in another, etc.  They are able to just shove feelings and events into their compartments and not think about them.
But when some of these compartments (Stress and fear mainly) get full, they overflow with frustration and anger.

Understand that you, as a person, are probably not the root of his anger.
If you have done something wrong, apologize and work on fixing the problem, but don't walk on eggshells.

Believe that your husband has good intentions, even when he is a bear.
Most men have a desire to be a good husband and father.
Most of them do not have a desire to get angry.

Love him anyway.
Pray for him.

Even if he is angry, he would still die for you, the greatest act of love.
He still loves you when he's angry.
He probably even still likes you when he's angry.

Challenge
-Next time your husband is grouchy, angry, or frustrated pray for him

Love...

True love is not a feeling, or an emotion.
It's choosing to stick with someone, no matter what.
Respect someone, even after they've fallen.
It's putting them first, period.

Regardless of the finances, you laugh together.
Regardless of how insensitive he seems, you serve him cheerfully.
Regardless of how many things have been broken, how many kids have thrown up, how many minutes he was late, you still kiss him and tell him he's hot.
Regardless of how unspiritual he seems, you let God convict him.
Regardless, he is yours.

No one can love him the way you can.
No one's respect will mean more.

Be his one true love.

Challenge
-Come up with a creative way to say I love you or I respect you.
