Generous

Are you generous with your spouse or do you find yourself withholding instead of giving? We are often generous with the people we care about, like our family, friends and neighbors. We are generous with those in need. But how generous are we with our spouse?

I can think of a handful of ways generosity benefits a marriage. If you come up with some others, help me out and share them in the comments below. Here goes:

 

Are you generous…

…with your time—both time together and time apart?
…with your forgiveness—are you quick to forgive?
…in listening when your spouse needs to talk—really listening rather than trying to solve?
…in your physical relationship—do you “give” more than you “receive” and if so, do you give with a joyful heart?
…with your vulnerability and honesty—are you sharing deeply from the heart?
…with your possessions—are your belongings “mine” or “ours”?

 What other ways can we be generous with our spouse?
