And sometimes the judgment extends down to motive.

And, you know, you can be very careful when you're judging motive.

Now, actions like, are a little more obvious, but motives are a lot more spurious.

You just don't know.

And you can do a lot of damage. You're like, you do

this because, and then we assign motive, and we may not be anywhere near reality on that.

And if you came out of a home that was like this, a critical home, maybe your parents had a

critical marriage or people that you were surrounded by had critical marriages.

That's where you really need to determine if you have fallen into that same goal of criticism.

And if you have, just stop, stop and repent and ask the Lord to show you how to be an encourager instead.

Because we all have times where we can do this,

but if you have a spirit of criticism and judgment, that is something you have to repent of and

pray against. All right, babe. We're so excited to be with you. Thank you for joining us for the

Real Marriage podcast. And we would love to help you as a couple go through Romans, perhaps the greatest book in the entire Bible. We've got a free study guide for you. And it's got a little commentary. It's got the text right in there, place to take notes, stuff for discussion and prayer between the two of you.

And if you're doing that, could you just let us know?

Snap a screenshot, give us a shout out, send it into hello at realfaith.com and or tag me on

social media.

Honey, where can they tag you on social media?

Sorry, you can't.

You can't?

How come you don't do social media?

Oh, that's a whole other program, though.
