My Husband Is Slow!
Is what your husband doing driving you crazy?! Get ready for this week’s #MarriageMinuteMonday where Leah delves into how to rethink this issue.
His Slowness Drove Her Insane!
Leah has a student whose husband was slow at everything. When they were dating, it bothered her when he took forever to open the car door, to enter the restaurant, to order, etc. but she really liked him and figured once they got married he would change. Well, that never happened and his slowness drove her insane! It would take him so long to set the table that often she would just set it herself. His driving was unbearable! His slowness became the bane of her existence!
6 Years Later, Her Husband’s Slowness Is The Best Thing In Her Life
Fast forward six years and she has 2-3 kids. Suddenly, her husband’s slowness is actually the best thing in her life! He never rushes her, and we all know that when you have kids everything takes double as long. So whereas another man would be upset that she wasn’t ready in time to leave to a wedding, her husband is never ready himself, which leaves her plenty of time to deal with the kids properly without feeling rushed. Even going to bed has become amazing! Before having children when she was ready to go to bed, he would be like “coming in 10 minutes” which turned into “15 minutes” and then longer. It would drive her nuts! Now she clocks everything and she knows that when he says that he is heading to bed, she’s got X amount of time to finish up what she has to do.
As she was sharing this story with me she said that what used to be the most annoying thing to her, turned out to be the very thing that now makes her life pleasant, and stress free.
Try This Out At Home
How about trying this out at home? Think about one thing that your husband does that you find annoying and try to see it from the good side. You never know if it will trunk out to be something you enjoy the most about your husband at the end. It’s worth giving it a try.
