Marriage Success
Some marriage advice is helpful and given with the best of intentions. Unfortunately, other well-meaning counsel is misguided and useless. Here’s a summary of the worst marriage advice I’ve heard.
The holiday season is a perfect time to count your blessings and to offer thanksgiving to God. See if your heart change doesn’t impact your mood, your relationships and your perspective.
Have you and your spouse committed to giving God thanks on a regular basis? When we’re grateful, we can more clearly see how rich we really are and we can be a blessing to others.
The word cherish implies a specific attitude and means that you recognize your mate’s incredible value. You have the opportunity every day to choose to see how incredibly valuable your spouse is.
If you look at a waffle, you see a collection of boxes all separate from each other. That is typically how a man processes life. His thinking is divided into boxes that have room for only one issue.
For most women, every thought and issue is connected to every other thought and issue in some way. Life is much more of a process for women than it is for men.
How are you to understand the differences between men and women? We like to think of them this way: Men are like waffles; women are like spaghetti.
Jesus laid down His life so that we might experience the new life that comes from His resurrection. In the same way, God calls us to lay down our own lives, serving our spouse unconditionally.
Since love is shown through purposeful action, so we need to find ways each day to make the expression of our love a priority. We must study our spouse to know what makes him or her feel loved.
