Life
I am writing this on Wednesday night, because tomorrow we are going out of town.
Tonight, we went to the park with the kids- 3 of ours, a niece and a nephew. We had a blast playing on the swings and talking while we watched the kids play.
Talking about life is so important, but sometimes life can get in the way of the talking.
While we were swinging and talking, I was observing my kids. There was another family that showed up at the park, and right away our kids were playing with their kids; like they knew eachother. Kids make friends so easy, and seem to ignore any hesitation that they might feel when they want to meet someone and play.
Why can’t married couples be more like that?
Why do we think things have to be just right in order to talk to eachother?
What would happen if instead of waiting for the right moment to begin a conversation, we just made it easy to begin anytime?
What if we decided to begin talking, just to share something cool that happened, even if it seemed trivial?
How about telling your spouse about the beautiful scenery on your way home from work?
Or that the sunset made you think of her or him?
Why not begin by saying “I was thinking of how much I appreciate it when you________.”
You fill in the blank.
How surprised would your spouse be if you took a picture on your cell phone of a flower and sent it to her? Would she respond? My guess is YES!
Everyone wants to be thought of, and told they make a difference- especailly married couples.
Try something new, something that might open up a chance to share the beauty of life, and help you begin talking about life.
Married life is worth it.
