So... how's that working for ya?

Dr. Jim Richards, "One of our sayings we use quite a bit around the ministry and in counsoling is So... how's that working for ya?. A guy will come in and say, "My wife doesn't like sex. I opened the bible and showed her where it says "don't withhold yourselves from each other" and told her we are going to have sex and she is going to like it by GOD!" and I look at him and say, "So... how's that working for ya?"

We all cracked up. But it is so true.

"Why do people do something over and over that doesn't work for them, and insist that it is the way to solve the problem and continue to do it?"

If something isn't working... don't insist that it is the right thing to do. That you are right and it HAS to work. Find something that will work.

A great thing to keep in mind. Not only in relationships and ministry, but in every walk of life: in your job, school, etc.

If you are trying to accomplish something, and you aren't achieving the goal you desire, at some point you just need to stop and ask yourself, "So... how's that working for ya?". If it isn't working... maybe you need a different approach!
