Common Ground....

No two people are going to be absolutely compatible. No two will always see eye to eye. We won't always like the same things. Take my wife and I. She likes shopping for designer bags and wallets while I prefer car shows. If I attended all the car shows alone and she always shopped alone, that would create a gap, a distance. So, while I may look funny doing so, I will shop for bags with her and she will attend car shows even though she doesn't really care about the cars. We are together. The point is we are to reach out to find a togetherness whether it is doing something we like or not. Give and take... Sacrifice. If men would make a little more effort in doing this the women will probably follow suit. Two people don't have to look the same or act the same or like all the same things to be a great couple. But there has to be a connection. That's why it's a couple, and not two singles.

Touch Her!

Hey everybody. Sorry I'm behind again. We were gearing up for a spiritual retreat this past weekend. It was great! Last time I prompted everyone to jot a note a day, just a little something you love about your wife. Hopefully you kept them, or they are branded into your memory. Guys, those things that we love about our wives, they need to be acted upon. We need to show our wives the affection they deserve, aim for her attractions, and let her know you appreciate her. Even the slightest affection can go a long way. It's warm, it's comforting, and I'm willing to bet if you would take the time to do it, both parties will not only benefit, but will want more of it. We live today in a whirlwind... and many times we overlook the fact that we need to do certain things to nurture our marriage. Not just sex. A marriage is so much more than that. This week I want to challenge you guys. Make eye contact with her this week in passing. Reach for her hand, maybe even give her a pat on the butt!!!! Hold hands when you're walking across the parking lot. When she has her back turned, touch the small of her back and whisper in her ear. Randomly tell her you love her, and why. If she wants to talk, make time and open up and listen. When you sleep, intertwine legs, or fingers, or just make some sort of skin contact. Hug her. Kiss her. Let her know what she is worth to you and always make time for her. Combine many small things, it will build something huge. I promise.
