1 Peter 3 – I Married A Jerk
Men can be jerks. So can women. Unfortunately, they don’t always marry each other and get what they deserve. Sadly, these hard-hearted and hard-headed masochists marry good people. This causes suffering in others who still love them, including their children. Only Jesus can change them if they are willing. If you are married to a jerk, it isn’t your job to save them. You can’t. A key word in 1 Peter 3:1 is “may”. They “may” be won over by your behavior. Not, they “will”. I want to write a different ending, but I can’t. Your job is to not act like them. So when you don’t know what to do, do what you know is right to do. Letting someone else control you is never right. Don’t be jerked around by a jerk. Stand your ground by standing on holy ground.
