My spouse, I don’t correct you because you are stupid, I don’t respect you, I love looking for your wrongs, I want to change you, I want to control you or because I think I am better.
No, I correct you because…
1. I am your accountability partner
2. I love you too much to watch you make a mistake and keep silent
3. Whatever affects you, affects me. There is no such thing as minding my business in marriage; you are my business
4. I vowed to stand by you
5. I know you better than anyone else; your strengths and weaknesses
6. We are a team, I’ve got you. We win together
7. I want the best for you
8. I know your potential
9. I am God’s vessel of honour in your life to mould you
10. Love improves us
11. I am not like your friends who might see you wasting your time and life and say nothing
12. You shared with me the person you want to become; I will correct you when you veer off
13. I can’t see you walk into a fire and not warn you
14. I pray for you
15. We are not perfect, it is possible to lose your way; so when you do, I will hold your hand
16. Love protects
17. Because I would love you to correct me too when I am wrong
As I correct you, I will do so with love and the right tone; not forgetting your many good qualities
