Things are great with Marty and I, but I figured there's always room for improvement - mainly where I'm concerned. In case your wondering why we went.
I learned a lot, now the trick is putting what I learned into practice. And with my stubborn will, it'll only happen by the grace of GOD. Thankfully God likes to lend a hand in areas like these.
Anyway, this chart below was something that was touched on during the weekend. I love it and had to share it. I know you married people out there can appreciate it.
His point was that every marriage goes through these stages. He pointed out that divorce only happens in stage 2, so a struggling couple just has to focus on getting through to stage three.
This was not the "solve-all" to a good marriage but again, just a small thing he showed that I thought was neat. And very true.
Oh, by the way...
No fighting with your spouse about which stage your in.
stage 3 here...most days anyway!
ReplyDeleteHi Kiana, What a great post. I love it, it makes total sense and I'm glad that you enjoyed the seminar. Sounds interesting! Hope all is well outside of this :-) BTW, I am not ready for the snow either. But no choice there huh? LOL.

Hey, I'm Rebecca, Beth's sister in Fairbanks... I just bounced over here from Valette's site. Loved this. I'll probably share it with my husband tonight. We definitely went through stage 2 our second and third year. Hope we don't have to go back there! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
