In
dealing with couples I am finding that if there was a demeanor of consideration
and common courtesy marriages would be happier.
Many partners treat a spouse with little or no respect. Sometimes it is just mean. This is the downside of close
relationship. We have a tendency to take
each other for granted and overlook common courtesies?
Here
are some questions that may help to establish a more positive demeanor in
relationship:
Who
got more courtesy today, the person in the check out line or my partner?
Who
got the better greeting upon arrival at home, the dog or my spouse?
Who
gets the privilege pleasant language (i.e. please, thank you), the next-door
neighbor or the person(s) inside my house?
Matthew 7:12 "Here is a
simple, rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to
do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. Add up God's Law and
Prophets and this is what you get. (The
Message)
