In the March 20 post, I said that wives need to trust their husbands. Do husbands need to trust their wives as well? Let me continue the same story of what I learned at the Nevada Star Ball. As the couples Quick Stepped around the perimeter of the dance floor at 10 miles an hour, the man might decide to throw in a turn. In that case, he would be the one with the blind spot—unable to see what was happening further down the Line of Dance.
Sometimes another couple would exit the center of the floor back onto the Line of Dance at the precise second when the man had his back turned. He was unable to see the danger ahead—but his partner could. At that point, it is her duty to let him know by pinching his shoulder that there is danger ahead. The wise man listens to his partner’s warning IMMEDIATELY. If he doesn’t, there is likely to be a large, nasty crash.
Do husbands have blind spots in life and in marriage too? Yes, they do. They may be unable to see the danger that is lurking just in front of them. If a husband is wise—if he knows his wife is rooting for his well-being—if they are striving to work together as a high-functioning unit—he will heed her warning and take action on it.
