Day 12: Love lets the other win

"Demonstrate love by willingly choosing to give in to an area of disagreement between you and your spouse. Tell them you are putting their preference first."


Thankfully, there is not a current disagreement that needs to be resolved; however, I will be reminded of today's reading should one crop up. Having said that, Jay and I both can be stubborn but have learned over the years (and through the disagreements) that sometimes a timely and sincere "I'm sorry" (even if you feel you are not "at fault") can be the beginning of a peaceful resolve and the end of a disagreement. Submission and compromise can be a "road less traveled" by some, but it can also be a smooth road if you're willing to make the trip. I highly recommend it.



Dear God, thank you for the current peace and calm. I know that life can throw things at us that we don't expect. I just pray that you help us navigate through the obstacles in a way that brings you glory and makes us stronger on the other side. In Jesus' name, Amen.
