MARRIAGE MOMENTS*
1080. Feb. 5: February is Black History Month, but not all injustices are black or white. In marriage there’s often a lot of gray when trying to figure out who is right in an argument. Before insisting on having your way, try to get in your spouse’s skin. Look at the problem through his/her eyes. This works between races too.
1081. Feb. 12: How Do I Love Thee? - As we count the days to Valentine Day, let us also count the ways we love our spouse. This is not a math contest. Pick out 1, 2, or 3 ways that your beloved brings you joy.
1082. Feb. 19: Feb. 19 is Presidents Day in the USA, but presidential debates and accusations flow wildly throughout this election year. Practice listening well to your beloved and seeking common ground on all vital issues, even politics. May our country be so wise too.
1083. Feb. 26: How do I pray? Let me count the ways. For one spouse it might be memorized or repetitive prayers; for another contemplative, spontaneous, or crisis praying. For some nature or silence may prompt our spirituality. Whether alone or together; often, rarely, or never – talk. Maybe try out your beloved’s way.
*Marriage Moments go out to individuals on Mondays. For Sunday bulletins use the Sunday immediately before the above date.
