SPOUSES ARE #1 (Day 4 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
As you looked for ways to give your spouse importance, where did you struggle?
Certainly, demanding life seasons can interfere some. Babies that wake you several times in the night can leave you exhausted with little time and energy for others. Totally understand. Do what you reasonably can and assure each other that it is just a season.
It’s hard to spend time with your spouse or do loving acts when you are angry with them. Totally get it. The point here is to own it, work to remedy the problems, so you can more easily put your spouse in the #1 spot.
Are you distracted by busyness? Without really thinking it through, it’s easy to adopt a very busy lifestyle with little time for your spouse. Rethink your priorities and time use to create a space for them. (Take time off and put your phones down now and then.)
Where and how else did you struggle?
