Marriage Monday (4)



  1. Name one attribute that you are working on this week.  (Examples include: respect, compassion, playfulness, generous, forgiving, flexibility, sensitivity, understanding, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, affection...)  I'm writing this one word on an index card and taping it on the microwave as a reminder!
  2. How can you make your spouse's life easier this week?  (It's not cheating to ask your spouse for help with this one!!!)
  3. What is one thing that you love, respect or appreciate about your spouse?

MY FOCUS:
  1. POSITIVE- (I didn't do so well on this last week and need another week of focusing on it!)
  2. Don't sweat the small stuff!  Quit complaining about silly things!  (ahem...another week!)
  3. I am insanely thankful, over-the-moon with appreciation, that I get to stay home with Abigail.  Thank you, J, for working so hard for our family and for being willing to sacrifice the "extras".  I love that you don't *need* perfect furniture, a boat or exotic trips- or even eating out!!!  You're content with your family and hot food on the table and I appreciate that immensely!  Love you!

I love how appreciative you are of #3. I also love have "real" you are in admitting that you need another week of #s 1 & 2.

Totally agree on #3!! (well, and the other two as well!) I actually have to remind myself of this a lot when I start to get jealous of what others have. But it's such a gift our husbands give us! :)
