Choose today to react to tough circumstances in your marriage in loving ways instead of with irritation. Begin by making a list of areas where you need to add margin to your schedule. Then list any wrong motivations that you need to release from your life. Things to ponder: Where do you need to add margin to your life? When have you recently overreacted? What was your real motivation behind it?
He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city. -Proverbs 16:32
So I had a few things on my list. First off, I need to quit freaking out about things that I have no control over. It doesn't help anything or any situation. Second, when I was thinking, I realized that I tend to take out all my frustrations from work or the kids or stress or anything like that out on Levi. And that just makes everything bad - it's not his fault some lady at work was rude to me or that Rafe would NOT stop crying all day. Being mad at him does not help whatsoever. Those two things were the biggest, for me. I need to be a bit more flexible, too.
