Speaking of the merciless drive to win…

Dan and I are in a season of training very diligently to form new communication habits.

It

is

hard

My sin seethes at pausing instead of counter-attacking.

My deceitful heart wants “freedom” not cooperation.

My laziness wants to schedule my days the way I want, not toward what would bless my husband. 

But that is not the way of love.

It’s just not.

We went to a marriage retreat over the weekend.  Such good time together.  Dr. White talked about love languages.  He mentioned if your number one is your partner’s last one (and vice versa) you will have to make some sort of plan to remind yourself. 

So we’re working towards a plan.

It’s good because quality time is important for both of us, but we’re not in a season where we’re getting lots of that.  So we have to work toward each other’s other top languages to serve one another in love. 

To serve one another in love.

Thank You, Jesus, that it’s Your Spirit empowering our efforts.
