Three men died and stood before God. The Lord gave each of them the chance to start a new life on Earth with any changes they desired.
The first man said, “Make me a hundred times smarter.” So God made him one hundred times smarter for his new life.
The second man said, “I want to be smarter than that guy. Make me a thousand times smarter.” God granted his wish.
The third guy said, “I want to be smarter than both of those guys. So make me a million times smarter than I was before.”
God granted his wish. The man came back as a woman.
Guys, trust the wisdom, insight, and discernment of your wives. The Old Testament addresses the wisdom of women with these words: “She considers a field and buys it. From her earnings she plants a vineyard” (Proverbs 31:16).
Recovery Step: If you are married, learn to trust your wife.
