Fibs In Marriages. Part 3: Communication is Nothing

Before I start the writing, I would just like to give a shout out to this gentleman I met earlier. Here's what happened.  My fumbling hands we're holding a bunch of my cards and they fell on the floor and on my wheelchair. Then this guy who just bought his coffee was walking out l and I asked if he can get the cards for me and to keep one for himself as well. He was nice and asked if there was anything else I needed and I told him I needed my water because I needed to drink my medicine but they never gave it. So, he got that for me. Praise God! He told me his name was Captain America. So, Captain America I pray that you will be encouraged by my writings and you will have a wonderful day!

Good morning everybody. The third part of this series is attitude is everything in your marriage. Oh my gosh, I know what I'm saying and I live what I'm saying to the core. Seriously. It's an everyday thing. Every second. To the wives, and husband you guys know exactly what I'm talking about.

You know what I'm thinking now? Don't you have expectations you feel that your spouse has to fulfill?  Well, reverting back to "attitude." Attitude is not only verbal but it is also seen by our spouses and are non-verbal actions. How is your face? I know it's beautiful. But what I really mean is what does the emotion on your face look like? I've learned from my own marriage that if you have that look of frustration, anger, discontentment, or maybe even for some people, they may be sad (that can be including or not including tears falling down your face) those kind of nonverbal reactions will only be bad and it will be a mess.  It will be a very sad and hurtful mess..

As far as expectations, I think don't have them when it comes to your spouse.  It's only going to make your spouse seem like a failure to you.  If you do decide to have some, then go ahead, but I'm telling you, you better be patient.  The Lord knows better and if he needs to do some changing of your spouse's heart, then be patient.

The bottom line is that I think I touched on it earlier. And, that is to make sure your mind is filled with good. I have this thing I do where I go from the goodness of the Lord from A to Z and end up praying for people's names. It's kind of like counting sheep when I'm trying to sleep but instead I call on God and recite his goodness. Sometimes I end up falling fast asleep, sometimes I don't. But all the time, God gives me the strength and energy if he thinks it' it is cool and alright with him

Encouraging thought of the day: 

Remember that communication is everything in a marriage, especially.

James 1:19 ESV

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;

Ephesians 4:29 ESV

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Proverbs 15:2 ESV

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly.
