Read Love and Respect today focusing on being a shoulder to shoulder friend with my husband, along with just simply being friendly. I need to be friendly as well as loving, non-badgering, non-annoying, and non-criticizing. So, what does this look like for Mark? I guess I've never really asked him if this is important to him. I will soon. This shoulder to shoulder thing makes perfect sense. This is what dudes do. They do stuff along side each other together like fish, fix cars, do house projects, etc. all side by side with not much talking. What do women do? We go get coffee or meet for dinner and sit face to face most likely with lots and lots and lots of talking. Finding this balance of meeting both needs with my spouse is the key.
Read Phil 2:4, Song of Solomon 5:16, and Ecc 3:7 to get more of a Biblical perspective. Main point I took away... I need to be quiet more I think and just listen.
