"He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends." Proverbs 17:9
TODAY'S DARE:
Determine to guard your mate's secrets (unless they are dangerous to them or to you) and to pray for them. Talk with your spouse, and resolve to demonstrate love in spite of these issues. Really listen to them when they share personal thoughts and struggles with you. Make them feel safe.
MY REFLECTION:

MY REFLECTION:
| Fortunately, my husband and I have had a similar conversation recently. I believe that we both feel secure and safe knowing each others deepest "junk". I do believe, however, that there are times when we feel insecure. I feel the most insecure, where Tommy is concerned, when we haven't had a hear-to-heart in a while, or spent quality time with each other, or been intimate. It's easy for that "voice" to plant seeds of doubt in my mind. That is when it is the most difficult for me to convince myself that my husband loves me just the way I am. All my failures, my insecurities, my self-consciousness, all of it. I "know" he loves me irregardless, just harder to convince the heart sometimes. |
