Dog Days of Marriage (4)

Dog Days of Marriage (4)

We are in the dog days of summer but many marriages stay there year round. This is the fourth in a series of blogs that will give you some advice to make sure your marriage doesn’t go to the dogs:

Women, don’t dig up old bones. Bringing up negatives of the past doesn’t do much to reinforce positive behavior in the future. Remember  Pavlov’s dogs?

Men, do whatever it takes to watch out for your wife and make her feel safe. Protect your wife’s value whatever it takes.

Questions to Ponder:

• What am I not forgiving of the past in our relationship?
• How am I guarding my partner’s value in our marriage?

Scripture:

Matthew 6:14 "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."

Proverbs 31:31 "Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."
