“The Trouble with Spouse’s Scripture”
by Larry Allen Haggerty Jr & Copilot

He quoted Paul like a fencepost firm,
But forgot the mercy in Ruth’s return.
She held her peace like Hannah’s prayer,
While he preached loud from his leather chair.

He said “submit” with a preacher’s grin,
But skipped the part ‘bout dying to sin.
She bore the weight of Proverbs 31,
While he chased rest before the sun.

They both knew verses, chapter and line,
But missed the rhythm of love divine.
Not headship crowned with selfish pride—
But servant hands, and hearts that died.

The trouble ain’t Scripture, it’s how it’s swung:
Like a sword unsheathed, or a careless tongue.
But grace still waits in the quiet room,
Where both repent, and roses bloom.
