As If They've Already Arrived By Jennifer Waddle Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another. - Romans 14:19 I remember the first time I heard the concept of treating your spouse as if they'd already "arrived." I admit, I was skeptical. The idea behind it is to stop complaining about what your spouse isn't doing, and start encouraging them in the things they are doing. I was afraid to try it, worried that my husband would start to think he was doing everything right! But I also knew something had to change, so, despite my skepticism, I decided to give it a try. My biggest complaint was that I felt like my husband didn't spend enough time leading our family spiritually. For years, I would take the lead in this area and then act like a martyr because of it. Does this sound familiar to anyone else? |
