Makes you wonder, though. Right off I took it to mean that we need to share the things we learn and that are important to us with our spouses. Sad that he would have worked on something for years and she would know nothing about it. But I know people that are like that, that are a wealth of wonderful information but the spouse would have no idea except she heard him share it in gospel doctrine or over the pulpit.<BR/><BR/>On the flip side, maybe he had tried and she didn't listen, probably because she was doing so much laundry. So maybe the deeper meaning is that husbands should help with the laundry? Shoot, that could even be a surface meaning. After all, he probably made it so he wouldn't have to help her anymore. Regardless, wives should listen to their husbands, even if they don't always get it. Believe me, I nod and "uh huh" a LOT. I shouldn't just say wives should listen. Husbands need to as well.<BR/><BR/>Obviously you've thought about this more. Can't wait to hear your interpretation.Marnihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02716988450649905133noreply@blogger.com
