This month, we will continue our study of family and the importance of those relationships. Just a short recap of last month, we all need community, family, and in that setting, we learn about each other, share things, and grow. We learn what is important and what it takes to protect it. But along with everything good associated with families and community, there is another side, and that is what we are going to discuss this month.
I’ve discovered that if people are not on my heart, they’re likely on my nerves. I’m sure I am just talking to myself here, but in case others are reading this and can relate, let’s be transparent together. If you don’t have your spouse, kids, friends, or cellies on your heart, they can start to get on your nerves too.
The reason so many marriages struggle is that spouses often react to each other from their minds rather than their hearts. When your wife says, “I feel depressed,” listen to her; it’s legitimate. When your husband says, “I don’t feel this is the right thing to do; we ought to do it this other way,” listen to him. Remember the things that make an awesome family and how those create an opportunity for growth. Heart love begins with understanding why someone feels the way they do.
