Challenge #48

Did your spouse express interest in attending one or both of the marriage conferences? I encourage you to make it happen! Whether you make your plans together or plan on your own as a surprise for your spouse, I strongly encourage you to attend one or both events. You absolutely will NOT regret it! That being said onto today's challenge.


"I have no way of knowing whether or not [you] married the wrong [person], but I do know that many people have a lot of wrong ideas about marriage and what it takes to make that marriage happy and successful. I'll be the first to admit that it's possible that you did marry the wrong person. However, if you treat the wrong person like the right person, you could well end up having married the right person after all. On the other hand, if you marry the right person, and treat that person wrong, you certainly will have ended up marrying the wrong person. I also know that it is far more important to be the right kind of person than it is to marry the right person. In short, whether you married the right or wrong person is primarily up to you."
                                                                      -Zig Ziglar, Courtship After Marriage

What insightful words! Many people often wonder if they married the "wrong person," I doubt there is anyone out there who hasn't at least allowed the thought to cross their mind at one time or another. The point is to be the right person. Be a wife that is easy to love. Be a husband that is easy to respect and submit to. When you focus on serving and pleasing spouse - being the best husband or wife you can be to them - your marriage will grow leaps and bounds!

Today's challenge is to express to your spouse that they are "the right person" through both your words and your actions. If you remember to do these two things from today's challenge: be the right person for your spouse and treat your spouse like the right person for you, you will see your marriage flourish.
