The Proper Education and Correction of Husbands
My sharp-eyed mother-in-law caught this authentic moment that shows the real story of my and Darren's marriage. Note Darren hanging his head sheepishly as Sara confesses his sins to him.

What a fun shot! What plans did you make?
You're doing a great job with him: observe the respectful and humble posture as he accepts your correction.
Kelly - I don't actually remember which plans we were discussing. Our Christmas week was crammed full of them. One of the best being that Darren and I left the kids with the grandparents and screeched away from the house for an overnight by ourselves. We had a marvelous time, the grandparents enjoyed the kids and each other, and the kids hardly even said hello when we got home. So those plans were a success. :)
Kristen - It's taken YEARS of training for Darren to learn the right response to correction. He used to sometimes backtalk, even!

Hey! Is that a beard I spot on Darren??
Is this a planned development leading to greater things, or just a bit of experimentation?
The beard is a holiday endeavor, as a result of a rash statement made to my son. It comes off in a week.
I like the beard (I actually grew one when Sara and I were courting), but the office likes its lawyers looking a little less fuzzy :)
You're right... this is more entertaining. :-)
"Note Darren hanging his head sheepishly as Sara confesses his sins to him."
Wouldn't that be You confessing Your sins to him?
Great pic- great story!
Aunt Pam - No, that's what I meant to say. It's a phrase someone used once to describe a critical person, and it's quite apt. There's always someone in the world willing to point out all the ways that YOU aren't performing up to par.
