#faithbites #fauthjourney failed<\/p>\n

I have failed as a husband many times, but I am not a failure. I have yelled at my wife, shown her anger, had lustful thoughts, been selfish, and wounded her spirit. There have been times when I don’t want to hang out and say I can’t because I just don’t want to. So many times that I have done things that I thought I wouldn’t because I wanted to be a perfect husband, but I fall short of the perfection of God.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, we talked about how I’ve failed as a father. This is part two of the series of failing but not being a failure. I’ve made so many mistakes in my life.<\/p>\n

One thing to clarify is these aren’t posts of pity or ones looking for forgiveness. They are showing how when we are open and honest about our failings, we can grow our relationship. It also isn’t to put blame on someone else or play the “he said she said they said game”. Furthermore, it isn’t that my sin isn’t as bad as others. Sure, I’ve never cheated on committed adultery or been physically abusive and some have. But we should compare ourselves to the Grace of God and his wishes for us rather than to the sins of the world.<\/p>\n

The hope is we all, including myself, remove the idea that we can ever be perfect in our relationships, and instead walk in the awkward with our loved ones and grow in our imperfections.<\/p>\n
