Husband Quote by Tony Evans

“God doesn’t need you to be your husband’s critic, his conscience, or his mother. Neither does he need you to sit down, fold your arms, and say, “Okay, that’s it. I’m not going to do what I’m supposed to do until my husband starts doing what he’s supposed to do.” quote by Tony Evans
