Learned a lesson today about being a bride. When you ask your husband for advice and he then offers you some... Don't "bite his head off" for sharing it with you. It may not be what you want to hear, but it might be what you need to hear.
It can be difficult to hear critiques about yourself, (especially if you are like me and are your own worst critic) but it says something about your character if you take the time to truly listen to what your spouse is trying to share with you. (Especially if you have asked for the help.) That means no rolling your eyes, no huffing and puffing, or giving the blank stare out into space or folding your arms and saying "What!?" in the manner of a 13 year old.
It does mean using calm voices and respecting one another. It does mean laughing whenever possible and giving grace to one another. You might wind up having a very good conversation and learn a little bit more about each other and how to interact.
