What makes feedback and correction easy for me to receive is exactly as you said; tough conversations presented in a tactful, humble, and helpful manner. Nobody wants to receive feedback or correction that is given in a hostile, angry, or berating way. You really hit on something!

I don't know how to answer your closing query. I guess the only thing I can say is that the Scriptures help me. I know I didn't appreciate my wife nearly as much until I really started searching out passages that related to our relationship. God places a big onus on the man in how he relates to his wife. If I want them to follow me, I have to lead by example. Some days I'm better at it than others, but overall, I have to admit I'm better than I was a year ago, 5 years ago, etc. I suppose it's learning that no one cares about my feedback/correction if I'm not willing to learn myself. It's kinda like when you and I kid each other; if I'm going to be willing to GIVE, I have to also learn to TAKE it. Otherwise, one or the other of us is going to tire of the one-sided relationship it would inevitably lead us into. Thanks for that post. Wow…..that’s great Josh.
