Almost 6 1/2 years ago I said "I do". Tim is an amazing and caring husband. I am continually thankful each day that God brought us together. Tim and I are in the process of learning more and more about communication with one another. With no TV to distract us for the 45 days I think it will a great time to learn more about communication in marriage.
This is the first year of marriage that we have really taken the time to "work" on our marriage. We try and keep Monday mornings set aside to spend time together focused on this. We've been watching a marriage podcast together and spent time asking each other the hard questions that followed. Over the past number of weeks though we've strayed from our Monday mornings together and have allowed schedule or sickness to get in the way with out replacing that time later in the week. Last night we both really noticed how our communication with each other has suffered and how working on your marriage always needs to happen regularly. One thing I want to learn during Lent and of course continuing on after is how to lay down my selfishness in my marriage. I am so quick to desire to be served or to get my way or have all of my many opinions heard.
Phil 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
In my life I need to consider Tim and Layla better than my self. I need to lay down my selfish desires and serve. OK - so easy to type , so hard to live out. I just thank God that He is not done with and that He and Tim have much forgiveness for me when I turn on the selfish switch.
