The grass may look greener on the other side, but that’s often an illusion.

A submissive wife avoids comparing her husband to others. Your friends may brag about their husbands’ success or gifts, but remember: no man is perfect. Every husband has strengths and weaknesses, including yours.

Instead of comparison, reflect on what made you fall in love with him. Those qualities are uniquely his. The man you chose is a complete package, good and bad, and loving him means honoring that choice every day.

Stop looking over the fence. Water your own grass. Build your own marriage. Choose contentment and loyalty over longing and comparison.
