                    OLD WIVES' TALES: THE TRUTH
Have you ever believed something, only to find out that it wasn’t true? Consider these old wives tales:
"If you go outside with wet hair, you’ll catch a cold." Cold weather, wet hair, and chills don’t cause colds; viruses do. 
"Reading in dim light will damage your

                    A pastor was scheduled to address a large Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Atlanta, Georgia.   His wife, who often reminded him to preach shorter sermons, said to him, “I am giving you an envelope in which is a message for you.  Open the envelope just before you speak and it will really help

                    OBJECT LESSON: WIVES AS THE WEAKER VESSEL
1 Peter 3:7- "Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner.." (KJV "weaker vessel.") 
Now, does that sound sexist to you? She's to be treated like the weaker partner, the weaker

As they were sowing, the one lady said, "My husband is so discouraged, he is so cold. We can’t find anything good on TV. Nothing seems to go right for him.

                    The knowledge of our wives must extend beyond the everyday.  Yet there are days when all a man has to do is open his mouth and he takes his life in his own hands. There is a story of a couple who was attending a marriage seminar on communication and the instructor told them that is was essential

                    Wives Want Soul Mates, romantic partners who are compatible together and bring out the best in each other. The relationship has satisfying intimacy and includes friendship, companionship, and often a spiritual component as well as love. This means they want a husband who will talk about his

                    We make sacrifices for our wives.  One husband thought he was making an incredible sacrifice for his wife by going with her to JoAnn’s Fabrics store.  It was devastating - there is little for a man to do in that store!

but he’s ready, the task to meet;
kisses his wife a quick goodbye
and hurries down the street.
 
A neighbor watches as he goes,
