I offer you these tidbits of wisdom as prayer prompts to remind you (and your constituents) of the sacredness of marriage vows and the value of every child. The commitment to love a spouse forever, and the generous gift of life parents offer a child are indeed spiritual under-takings and cannot be done alone. May the God of Love be with you and your work.

| Dear Bill ,
Below are your Marriage Moments and Parenting Pointers for JUNE. NOTE: With the close of the academic year, I thought it might be fun for couples to take my quiz: Are We Intellectually Compatible? |
|
| MARRIAGE MOMENTS 471. June 4: Marriage is not so much a matter of finding the right partner as being the right partner. Although some people have a natural talent for relationships some skills can be learned. Click here for resources.
472. June 11: Triangles are the most stable geometric form. Invite another person into your marriage to make it a threesome - you, your spouse, and God. Prayer to God can provide a perspective when both of you want your own way. 473. June 18: This Wednesday (June 20) is the official beginning of summer and the longest day of the year. Take advantage of the daylight and do something fun, foolish, or refreshing. Maybe run through a sprinkler together or soak your honey with a squirt gun 474. June 25: We remember what we want to hear. For example, recently my husband asked me to take out the compost after dinner. I unintentionally but conveniently "forgot" because it was rainy and I figured it could probably wait another day. Sound at all familiar? |
| PARENTING POINTERS 470. June 1: How many shoes does your child have? How many do you? How many can you wear at one time? The first week in June is National Barefoot Week. Have fun going barefoot for a day or an hour this week, but remember that some kids don't have any shoes. Check out Soles4Souls to see how you can help.
471. June 8: How to teach your child to be honest? Be honest yourself. Keep your promises to your child. Don't fudge on your taxes. Call a foul on yourself in games. Return the extra change the clerk mistakenly gave you... 472. June 15: Father's Day "Fathers, do not provoke your children, or they may lose heart." (Colossians 3:21) It's not easy being a father, trying to straddle that delicate balance between firmness and compassion. How did your own father do it? Well or imperfectly? I know you're trying. Keep it up. 473. June 22: Are you too busy? Too busy to waste time with your child? Too busy to sweat in the sun at your child's game? Too busy to take a walk and pause while your child picks a dandelion? You're too busy. Slow down, don't move so fast - at least for today. 474. June 29: Teaching politeness, Part 1: Beyond "Please" and "Thank You" children need to learn how to respond to an introduction to a new person, give a firm handshake, look a person straight in the eye, and how to respectfully address adults. Can you check these life lessons off your parenting "to do" list? |
