Challenge #16

I hope everyone had some fun lastnight! It's nice to get out of the house every now and then, even if only for a few hours.

Today's challenge will carry over into tomorrow. Because it is so late in the day, I realize that though there are some of us that are having a wonderful day with our spouses, there are some of us that may have already had less than pleasant encounters with our spouses. So if you can't complete this challenge today, and even if you do, start afresh tomorrow.

No matter what - do not argue with your spouse today. If you have a disagreement or misunderstanding about something, simply agree to disagree. The last thing any marriage needs is strife or conflict. Strife drives wedges and builds walls between husbands and wives - if we're not careful, we will find ourselves with a great divide between us. We are trying to grow closer to our spouses, so keeping conflict out of our homes must be of the utmost importance.

"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves." Philippians 2:3
Imagine what a vast improvement we will see in our marriages if we can remember to apply this to our spouse!
