Love, HONOR, and obey

Whenever I go to playdates with our secular playgroup, many of the women spend their time complaining, complaining, and complaining about their husbands. We women seem to like to gossip and talk about other people in general and most of the time it is good and uplifts the person we're talking about.

I went to a wedding in 2004 and in the homily the priest said that when a woman complains about her husband to friends or tells his faults and shortcomings to the world she is breaking the vow she took of honoring her husband. Powerful stuff.

We really need to try and only speak kind words about others, especially if we're one flesh with them :).
