Carl Trueman expounds the virtue of a wife who does not believe one iota of “their husbands’ own propaganda about themselves.”
From the post:
Indeed, when asked by a student spouse the other week how she kept up with reading all that I read so that she could support me in my work, my wife’s response (worthy of Newman himself) was `Read what he’s reading??? Lovey, I don’t even bother to read what he’s writing!’ In fact, she famously claims never to have read anything I have ever written. Why should she? She lives with me and knows what I am really like; and her interest in my job is primarily that of `does it pay the mortgage and enable him to be a decent husband?’ not `is he changing the world or hanging with the right people?’
Read the whole post here and you’ll also discover how Trueman’s wife dealt with his “infamous …`pole dancer’ comment, while preaching on 1 Corinthians 1.”
