The Super Husband - Venus vs. Saturn

This one is for the spouse that’s trying to attain that “super status” in their marriage.

Is it possible to reach a "giant status” in this marriage thing?  And, are there keys to learn how to reach that perfect relationship between a man and woman?  I don't know but I can suggest some good used punching bags, dartboards and archery targets with Sandy’s picture on it that have helped me from time to time.  LOL

All kidding aside, I feel that trying to reach perfection in any relationship, even marriage, is a hard road to travel.  Seriously, who can say they know two people on this earth that think 100% alike all the time?

On the other hand, striving to reach maturity and respect for each other is paramount, in my opinion.  I would like to share a couple examples of this idea:

1. There is one sentence I no longer say to Sandy………..”I told you so”.  Enough said.

2.  When the occasional argument pops up, I always strive to keep in mind, that as a man, I look at most things from a totally different angle/perspective than she usually does.  Guys, it’s a fact that our brains are “hardwired” on a completely different circuit (or planet) than women!

By taking these thoughts in consideration, and the fact that Sandy’s mom is from West Virginia (just kidding Ethel), I have learned patience and see improvement in my responses during an argument.

A funny note:

Most that know me understand I love drums! One time in the past I was at a local drum shop, and behold my dream set was on sell - yes a “once in a lifetime opportunity!”  I did something totally backwards to my male logic ….I called Sandy and asked her to talk me out of using the money we made on the sale of our house to buy this drum set.  Well she did (by the way, that dream set was called “The Saturn Pro”).  After all was said and done, I realized I had achieved another level of maturity in our relationship.

So, what I’m trying to say is don’t try to be a Superman in your relationship with your spouse (or anyone).  Love is the goal.  Arguments will happen, but the right response will actually help you grow from the arguments and make you a better spouse.

One final thought, the Apostle Paul was a great example of this in his life.  He had a wonderful idea about being called a super Christian (aka Superman).  “If the Corinthian Church thought Paul was weak and different than the “super apostles” that was okay with him because he desired them to see the Glory of God expressed in his weakness and not to see him as a great or super apostle.
