DON’T PLAY THE BLAME GAME
I shared a story with you yesterday of an husband who kept shifting blames because he wasn’t ready to take responsibility for what the wife was saying.
This is the situation in a lot of marriages, the man who is the head of the family is not ready to accept his fault or take responsibility when things are wrong. He prefers to shift it to the wife. The wife too has someone to blame when things go wrong.
You cannot enjoy a great marriage if all you do is shift blame to your spouse whenever things go wrong.
Marriage as an institution is a place where everybody takes responsibility even when they are not at fault. This is because they know the success or otherwise of the marriage is theirs.
Shifting blames hurt your marriage, you and your spouse. It won’t allow you take a definite decision on issues because you want someone else accept the fault.
Adam did the same thing in the bible when he told God it was the woman he gave to him that made them sin instead of accepting responsibility for not being at his duty post as the head to stop the gimmicks of the devil.
I believe you remember what that caused Adam, Eve, and their family. Even the world still reaps the fruit of that singular act today.
My dear listener, If you want an excellent marriage, stop shifting blames and take responsibility for that marriage.
I will end with this quote from Arnold H. Glasow, “A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.”
