What's the problem?
Have you been there lately? You know, conflict with your husband! Have you ever stopped to really ask him, "What is the problem?" It is interesting to hear what their version of the problem truly is and just how different it can be to yours. Something we think is causing division is the complete opposite (sometimes) of what he thinks is causing division. The next time you get into a lively discussion, and frustration sets in, ask your spouse those words and get ready for the answer. So many times when we disagree in our relationship it is simply miscommunication bigtime! I'll never forget when we had our pre-marriage counciling before the big day with the greatest pastor, Dave Riggle (at Second), and we got our "scores" back on our test that we took. Our highest score was Communication with each other! How exciting is that? We were great communicators, now 10 years later, if we took that test (or one like it) I wonder what our score on communication would be? Sometimes (to be honest) it just takes too much time and interupts some really great program that I can actually watch because the kids are asleep! Sometimes it is just too much work. But really, isn't that the heart of any marriage, communication. Today take some time to evaluate how you are doing in that role. Is there something you and your husband need to talk about that you have been putting off? Is there something you haven't told your husband and today is the day? Do you have some bitter feelings about something that happened a long time ago that you need to let go of? Today is the day you look at how you communicate and work on making your marriage stronger, just simply by talking about those things you haven't wanted to talk about! Have a great day! Love you, Heather |
