A Fight Every Day
Matthew 22:1-14

A board member went to the Pastor for marital counseling. He had attended church for 25 years and was a respected leader in the church. "Pastor, I've got something awful to tell you. I've never told this to a soul, it is extremely difficult to tell you this now, but my wife and I have had a fight every day for the past 30 years of our marriage."

The Pastor taken back didn't know what to say to the man. Playing for time to gather thoughts, said, "Every day?"

"Yes, every day."

"Did you today before you came to church?"

"Yes."

"Well, how did it end up?"

"She came crawling to me on her hands and knees."

"What did she say?"

"Come out from under that bed you coward and fight like a man!"
