Live Simply Love Make-Up-Monday: Milestone

 

So last week we were getting ready to leave the house one evening. We were in a hurry, about to be late to our destination, and I’ll admit I was already a little stressed. I was short with the Husband while we were finishing up a few things in the kitchen {why does our conflict ALWAYS seem to start in the kitchen??}.

MOTO 045 290x300 Make Up Monday: Milestone

Heading out the door for "date night" {Of course, this was NOT the same night this conflict occurred}

By the time we got in the car and made the first turn out of our street I’d quietly decided that I wanted to be sweet to him rather than fight so I reached over and touched his leg.

His response: “Are you upset with me about something?”

Me: “No. Are you upset with me about something?”

Him: “No. It just seemed like you were upset with me back there in the kitchen.

Me: “Well… {Pause. Thinking about what to say.} I guess the bottom line is that you weren’t doing things the way I wanted you to do them. And it just bugged me. That’s why I acted that way towards you.”

It seemed like a milestone to be able to say that. It took an additional few seconds to realize that what I’d just said was an admission that I was in the wrong. I asked his forgiveness for speaking to him that way and, as a result, we were able to move past it and enjoy our evening together.

In fact it ended up being a GREAT night filled with laughter, fun with friends and no hint of things having gone sour for a few minutes before we left the house. Amazing!

And that hasn’t always been the case. Sometimes conflict can ruin the rest of our evening. But not this time.

And, like I said, it felt like a huge milestone.

What’s the milestone, you ask. {I’m so glad you asked!}

The fact that I was able to see myself from the outside—see what maybe he saw and felt in our interaction—and diagnose what in the world was causing me to act that way and then promptly admit it {with a little help in the form of a question from him}. I was able to identify my disgruntedness about something minor as my sinful attempt to try to change him and make him more like me.

Sure, we both have preferences about the way things are done around the house. And we often talk about those preferences and gently ask or suggest that the other person might consider it “this way” but a short, snappy, unkind comment about what I considered to be his excess use of foil is not one of them.

On this Make-Up-Monday, what’s bugging you about how you handle conflict in your marriage? Are there certain topics that set you off? Does conflict ruin your night? Where do you feel like you need to take ground in how you relate to one another?

Marriage Moments & Parenting Pointers

FEBRUARY - 2012

 

Family heart

 

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 FEBRUARY.  

 

NOTES: Check out Can You Eat on $4.50/Day? Although Lent will not start until Feb. 22, Jim and I have decided to take the NATIONAL FOOD STAMP CHALLENGE and try to eat on $4.50/day. Perhaps you'd like to spread this idea to your constituents. I'll be blogging on the experience after Ash Wednesday, so check my blog after that.

MARRIAGE MOMENTS

454. Feb. 6: "They brought to [Jesus] all who were ill." (Mk 1:32) How do you like to be treated when you are ill? Do you want to be left alone or fussed over? What about your spouse? Don't assume that what you like is what your beloved would like. Ask.

 

455. Feb. 12: (World Marriage Day) Renew your vows today or on Valentine's Day. "I _____, take you, _____, to be my wife/husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life."

 

456. Feb. 20: (Ash Wed.) "Your offenses; your sins I remember no more." (Is 43:25) "Child, your sins are forgiven." (Mk 2:5) We humans hold grudges - but that is not the way of God, the way of love. With Ash Wednesday approaching consider letting go of an annoyance or fault of your beloved for Lent. Don't bring it up again - at least for 6 weeks.

 

457. Feb. 27: Feb. 29 is Leap Day. In matters of courtship, historically men took the lead and pursued women. Of course our society is now more egalitarian. Women are more assertive, ask men out for dates, and even propose. Is it a leap for you to accept this change or does it seem natural?

PARENTING POINTERS

453. Feb. 3: Parents naturally want their children to be successful in life and love. "When raising children focus on enduring values and character - the success that counts will fall into place." (Raising Kids Who Will Make a Difference) Wealth and good looks are nice but can be false friends. Go for integrity and compassion.

 

454. Feb. 10: "Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." (Mt 18.4) What childlike quality would you like to foster in yourself? Try it for a day.

 

455. Feb. 17: February 22 is Ash Wednesday. Talk with your kids about whether there is something the whole family might give up or DO for Lent. For example: omit desserts, TV, or videos except on Sunday; eat dinner together more, give each other one sincere compliment a day...

 

456. Feb. 24: Next Wednesday, February 29, is Leap Day. According to historical lore this was a date that women could propose marriage. It can be instructive to experience walking in another's shoes. Consider trading places (or chores) with someone in your family for a day. Some jobs may not be done perfectly. Laugh about it. You can survive one day on PPJ sandwiches.
