Well, on our last program, we looked at the 3 most common mistakes that we men make, in being part of our families. Well this time it’s the women’s turn. What are the three most common mistakes that women make in being wives and mothers?

God has a real heart for families – and for your family in particular. But each of us makes mistakes that damage family relationships. We do. Especially we men. All too often, we’re not very good at being fathers and husbands, brothers and sons.

We know that this whole idea of family was God’s plan from the very beginning. We know that. But I tell you, doing family, being family, can be so incredibly tough … because families – yours and mine – are made up of imperfect people.

Family: it’s something we take for granted. Most of us grew up in a family and many of us have started our own and yes, we all know that families are part of God’s Grand Design. But you know as well as I do, that this whole family thing … well, sometimes, it’s just not easy, is it?

Families. They’re something we tend to take for granted. They just exist. Most of us were born into a family. Most of us grew up in a family. Many of us have started our own families. And yet this thing called “family” doesn’t always turn out to be what you’d hoped, does it?

Sometimes we make the same mistake over and over and over again.  With exactly the same disastrous results.  A bit like Pavlov’s dogs.  Stimulus - response.  Stimulus - response.  A vicious circle and it causes pain repeating the same mistakes all the time.  So how do we break out of that cycle??

Going from childhood through to adulthood - well, the idea is that we’re supposed to grow up.  To mature - but the reality is that many of us actually never grow up - at least in some parts of our lives.  And that immaturity - well it’s a pain.  It causes us pain - and, just quietly - it’s a pain in the neck for everybody else.

Not sure if you’ve ever noticed but growing up - well, growing up is hard work.  Going from this little baby completely dependent on our parents, to a fully-fledged adult.  And there are growing pains along the way.  Why is that - what causes that pain, why did God make it like that?  And what can we learn from it?

I think we all have a packet of aspirin or some other form of painkiller in the cupboard.  And that’s okay for the occasional headache.  But these days, we’re into the instant fix. Rapid relief.  And when it comes to deep pain, emotional pain - we sometimes focus on the symptom … but what about the disease?

As much as we hate to admit it - pain is a fact of life.  We all travel through pain sometimes.  So - what is it, what causes it and what can we do about it?  Well - surprising as it may seem, God actually has a lot to say about the pain in our lives.  And some of it, we can avoid altogether.
