Mothering our Husbands
Good morning,
I had a friend suggest a study about ‘mothering our husbands’. I’ve been thinking about it and thought it might be an interesting little mini-study so I’ve begun to pray about it and collect some ideas to put on paper. I think most of us have been guilty of it at one time or another? Or am I the only one?
Anywhoooo… I was wondering if you ladies had any thoughts on the subject or any scriptures you’d like to share? Or maybe you’ve read a good article on it? Right now I’m collecting scriptures that specify the duties of a mother towards her children and contrasting that with a wife’s duties. I’m also looking for examples in scripture of women who may have ‘mothered’ and wives who did not.
Since ‘mothering our husbands’ is not a biblical term I’m thinking that it probably is going to fall under the category of a woman leading the husband instead of biblically submitting and allowing them to lead our homes.
So what think ye?
Hugs,
Georgene

All I have to say for now is “Ouch”. I’ll be looking forward to your findings. I have been guilty of mothering my husband in the past
Much love, Chanin
I think you are right in your analysis in the last paragraph.
Sometimes, though, our husbands need and want “mothering”, as do we. The trick is in knowing when.
I think one has to look at motives for actions.
@NewSurrender - Do you mind sharing some ways you’ve mothered your husband in the past?
