My Husband’s Teachings 🥰
One day I was having a conversation with my husband. I honestly can’t even remember what the topic was, but I wasn’t in agreement with him. I didn’t shout, I didn’t talk harshly, but the truth is I responded in a way I shouldn’t have. It was fleshly. My tone was off. My face had changed. I didn’t even realize it, but I was clearly operating from emotion.
My husband is one of the most spiritually sensitive and discerning men I know. He just looked at me for a second. Then he stood up slowly, looked me straight in the eye and said, “Get behind me, Satan.”
I frowned. My first thought was this man just called me the father of all evil. 😅
But then, he immediately said, “It’s not you honey.”
He came and sat down next to me, gently patted my head, and smiled.
I didn’t smile back. Not immediately.
In my head I’m like, You’re smiling after calling me Satan?
But then my spirit caught up.
I remembered when Jesus said those same words to Peter.
Peter meant well. He was just concerned. He didn’t want Jesus to suffer or die.
But Jesus wasn’t rebuking Peter. He was addressing the spirit behind what Peter had said.
A spirit that wanted to interfere with God’s will.
Right there, I understood what had just happened.
My husband wasn’t attacking me.
He was protecting the moment.
He was discerning the spirit trying to trigger something in our home.
He chose to rebuke the enemy instead of argue with his wife.
He looked at me with so much calm and said,
“Honey, do you understand why I said that?”
I said, “Yes. Thank you for rebuking me. I’m sorry.”
He smiled and said, “If I had answered back harshly, we would have ended up in a very big argument. But I knew it was a setup. I knew it was a target. But he’s defeated. In Jesus name.”
Till today, I’ve never forgotten that morning.
So many couples destroy each other in moments like that.
They don’t realize they’re not really mad at each other.
They’re under attack.
And the devil just stands aside watching, laughing,
because he knows you think it’s your spouse when it’s actually him.
That day I learned something that has changed me.
Discernment will save your marriage.
Not every disagreement is just about what’s being said.
Sometimes there’s another voice behind it.
Not every emotional moment is just stress.
Sometimes something is trying to rob your peace and open a door.
Since that day, I’ve learned to pause.
To ask myself,
Is it my emotions talking?
Is this the Holy Spirit or my flesh?
What will this conversation produce?
Will I feel better after or regret it?
It doesn’t mean I don’t feel emotional anymore.
I still do. I’m human.
But I have learned to listen to the Voice that calms me, not the one that provokes me.
And I thank God for a husband who doesn’t just love me…
he teaches me.
Gently. Firmly. Spiritually.
And every time I look back, I realize I married a mirror that shows me where I need to grow.
