Honor your spouse for having the courage to tell you information you need to hear. While his or her criticism may not feel good at the moment, your spouse must be honored for bringing the issue to your attention. Scripture tells us that, “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” (Hebrews 12:11)
