When it comes to the word "no", we find that it's said and heard thousands of times each and every day. But when it comes to our families and marriages, do we as men say it enough or too much?
Let's explore: no means no right? Well yes and no. It is both positive and negative. How many times have you told the kids no? I had to put my foot down tonight about grades and sports and "no" came up quite often. Depending upon your point of view it could have been positive or negative. My kids will have to write their own article to explain their view. But saying 'no' to the kids is otherworldly different than saying 'no' to your wife, right?
What I'm really talking about is this: how many times do we as men/husbands say 'yes' to all the other responsibilities and distractions in our lives and consequently say 'no' to the number one thing that our wives crave? How many times do we agree to do this with someone else, do that on this date on that side of town away from our mates or say 'yes' to our jobs, computers, cell phones, home-boys and the like when our wives are standing there and hearing 'no' to them?
It's time for us husbands to say 'NO' to ALL the things, people, distractions and circumstances that take us away from saying 'YES' to TIME with our wives. They deserve our 'yes'. Don't you think?
