While Ogden Nash entitled this poem “A Word to Husbands,” I think that it could safely be renamed “A Word to All” especially in light of my last article, A Word Fitly Spoken. While it makes us smile, let us hope it also makes us think!
To keep your marriage brimming
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever you’re right, shut up.
One of my Lenten practices this year is to move against my need to be right. Thanks for this piece.
We all struggle with that, I think. I will pray for Christ to give you the patience and grace to succeed.
