Sunday morning is often an easy time to get into conflict with your spouse. Somewhere between waking up and pulling up to the church parking lot, sparks can fly.
Haddon Robinson was asked by a seminary student, “How do you preach following a blow-out with your spouse?” Haddon answered, “Everyone wants to know you struggle, they just don’t want to smell the gun smoke. You have to make things right before you preach.”
This sounds right…but what exactly does he mean? He obviously means we should reconcile/repent with our spouses before preaching. I’m taking the ‘gunsmoke’ statement to mean that we shouldn’t talk about the details but we should be transparent in letting people know that we are normal people.
