DAY 1 — LOVE IS PATIENT. [LOVE KNOWS WHEN TO WAIT, WHEN TO LISTEN, AND WHEN TO BE QUIET] Patience is love under pressure. It gives our spouse room to be human, refuses to allow anger to control our response, and chooses grace when retaliation would be easier.Marriage doesn’t become stronger merely because two people love each other.
It becomes stronger when two people learn to practice biblical love toward each other.
And the first lesson is patience.
PATIENCE LISTENS BEFORE REACTING.
PATIENCE GIVES GRACE TO IMPERFECT PEOPLE.
PATIENCE CHOOSES PEACE OVER RETALIATION.
You cannot control everything your spouse says.
You cannot control everything your spouse does.
BUT WITH GOD’S HELP, YOU CAN CONTROL HOW YOU RESPOND.
