Be The Change You Want to See

For awhile, I’ve been trying to take more responsibility and be more accountable for the conflict in my marriage.  Like most, I believe that I’ve done a disservice to myself and my husband by spending too much time looking past my own flaws and sin and focusing on my perfectly flawed spouse and his own contributions to marital frustration.  When I came across this excellent article today, it hit close to home.  May we all have the kindness and patience within us to extend this kind of grace to our spouses.  Starting today, I am going to dare myself to focus on the good in my husband by trying to look past what he doesn’t do and seeing what he does do for me… without asking… and without my acknowledged appreciation.
