Husbands need to listen not try to fix
1 Samuel 1:8 Then Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
Its no surprise men and women are different. As a husband, I never want to see my wife in whom I love, hurting. I want to bring strength in and fix it. Hannah was dealing with many fronts. She was a very godly woman and as we see soon, has great faith. Our wives weakness isn't faith at all. Instead of questioning her, listen to her, pray for her, continue to point her to the hope in the LORD. Elkanah, its not about you at all. Only the LORD can relieve Hannah's pain.

This is so true. All too often the desire to fix another person's pain can actually hinder the work of God in their lives. We can apply bandages, but the Lord can truly heal.
Amen! 😉
