It has been said that “No news is good news”. In marriage, this is rarely the case. What spouses don’t know often hurts them, or their marriage. We’ve dealt with couples where no news for years was followed by “I want a divorce”.
People change all the time. Some change is slow, and we frequently miss the large cumulative effect that can have. Other changes seemingly come out of nowhere and leave us with whiplash. But most “sudden” changes are not so much sudden as not seen until they hit critical mass. Or ignored until there is an explosion.
All of this is why ongoing communication is the lifeblood of a marriage. Even if you got to really know each other early in your marriage, you have both been constantly changing since then. Without ongoing meaningful conversation about where you are now, you will gradually know each other less and less. At best, that will limit your marriage. At worse, it will endanger it.
The next few days I will talk about reasons couples don’t communicate. Today, I’d like you to ask yourself if you are keeping up with who your spouse is becoming. If not, what are you going to do about that?
~ This is Paul, reminding you that Doing Marriage Well requires knowing who your spouse is.
We made lo mein with freeze-dried cabbage, carrots, celery, and onion.
The cabbage and carrots came from our garden!
