Men vs. Women

DAILY VERSE

 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

 Proverbs 15:1

 DEVOTION

 When it comes to relationships, especially marriage, it’s important to realize the differences you and your spouse come prepackaged with. I’ve always said, I’m black & white. I’m certainly not deep thinker, I like or don’t like something, and can be hard-headed. My wife, on the other hand, is more like rainbow. There’s a complexity that I don’t possess, which requires that I listen and dig deeper to understand where she’s coming from.

 I have a tendency to respond quickly. Whether it’s a simple decision or an argument. What I’ve learned to do is apply the brakes and process things before I respond. It’s saved me from looking foolish and escalating an argument many times.

 As men and women, we are the opposite. If we embrace that, rely on God’s Word and guidance, He will bless our relationships richly.

Bradley Hilton has always been a believer; it was in 2000 that he reaffirmed his faith and went all-in for Jesus. He felt a nudge from God to start a men’s group in his church. Influenced by this group he began a regeneration process that changed his life for a more active service for God. He began a newsletter to encourage others. Its growth resulted in a blog, The Daily Dose – Daily inspiration from God’s Word. Bradley and his wife, Michelle, share life together in Texas with their four children and two grandsons.
