Yesterday we started a class together at our church, called Fireproofing Your Marriage. Today was our first day of forty. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 4:2 Our dare today was to resolve to demonstrate patience and to say nothing negative to each other. We learned last night that many times anger is a condition of the heart and that we should be slow to speak and slow to anger.
I am not certain that we failed today's dare, however we were both pretty short and our fuse is about gone. We have had a few tiring weeks with lots of work to do around the house, kids that are relentlessly fighting lately and neither of us seem to have any patience. I guess the good thing about the dare is there is always another one tomorrow and we are lucky that part of tomorrow's dare also repeats today's... another chance. :)
At the end of the day, we still love each other and rely on one another to get through each day.
