Relationships That Lasts

If you have watched Facing the Giants, you will see Shannen Fields, who played the role of Brooke Taylor, the wife of a football coach played by Alex Kendrick - who is on the verge of losing everything in his life, including his job. Plus, the fact that they are having difficulty conceiving a baby that it almost becomes impossible.

I really like her role, cause she resembled an ideal wife. When hes husband comes home disappointed over a problem at work, she doesn't nag or judge her husband. Instead, she listens attentively, lovingly, with full understanding and empathy which gives him comfort and strength to move on. She is a very serene woman and she is so sweet when she speaks. She respects her husband so much and this makes his husband love her more and more. She was one of the reasonw hy his husband became successful in the end.

I am working on becoming such as ideal wife like her. I'm sure every husband would love a non-judgmental, good listener wife. Our husbands needs our love and appreciation specially during their down times. Most of the time when they air a problem to us, we lecture a lot to them and tell them what to do, which makes them feel even worst and they would feel you are bragging even if your intention is not. When they say something, most likely than not, what they want for you to do is to listen attentively and show that you understand and that what they feel are acknowledge.
