Emphasis Preaching Journal

Christian writer Tony Campolo tells the story of a man who used to make his wife miserable. He was, to be perfectly blunt, a slob. After a hard day at work, this hapless husband would breeze through the back door all sweaty and dirty, open the refrigerator, pull out a beer, and park himself in front of the television until dinner.

Unbeknownst to his wife, the man knew his marriage was in trouble, and had begun seeing a counselor. The counselor helped him see that his slovenly behavior wasn't helping matters any.
