Be the coffee mug

I guess the main idea when men complain how bad their women are is avoiding responsibility. You cannot change other people. Even in the confines of the Bible, it is still her decision to follow the teachings of Christ, or not.

Right?

So what does a man do? He focuses on himself to become the mug and prays for his wife to become the goblet through God.

Thanks for your post. I’m curious—according to this teaching, how could a husband best deal with a wife who is in consistent sin?

“Therefore, a husband should encourage his wife in her indispensable work. He must be a man who goes with the grain of creation, not against it.”

Very good post; what would you counsel in this regard (re: your words above) - a practical application or two?
