So.. the question...
- How much do you love your spouse?
- Do you love them more than you love being right?
- Do you love them more than having to have the last word?
- Do you love them more than YOUR daily plans?
Marriage is all about compromise. So many people are scared of that word! A marriage has to have it to survive.
- If you're the type that keeps to yourself, not very talkative... compromise! Ask your spouse about their day. Communicate!
- If your spouse's Love language is words of affirmation and you have a hard time complimenting... compromise! Be sure to reassure your spouse of your faith in them.
- If your spouse's Love language is acts of service and you really aren't into housework... compromise! Be sure to do something for your spouse that would scream "SEE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU?!"
- If your spouse's Love language is quality time and you have a jammed packed schedule... compromise! Plan some alone time with your honey (or the entire family - away from TV's and distractions and actually ENJOY one another!)
- If your spouse's Love language is physical touch and you aren't the touchy-feely type... compromise! HUG! KISS! Wrap your arm around them! Hold hands!
- If your spouse's Love language is receiving gifts and you aren't a big shopper... compromise! Pick your honey up something "just because". It doesn't have to be something big, just something that says "I was thinking about you, darling, and I love you."
If you don't know your spouses love language, I encourage you to research it. If you haven't read the book, you can find descriptions and even a quiz online available at: http://www.5lovelanguages.com/learn-the-languages/the-five-love-languages/
Do you love your spouse enough to LEARN THEIR LANGUAGE.... and SPEAK IT FLUENTLY?
