We have to be able to listen and grow and encourage. I love the way you describe it as a daily decision to work out your salvation together.<br />I am grateful for this gift in my marriage, too.<br />It's huge!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616238682696645579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-14699862528507628352013-02-13T01:25:19.641-05:002013-02-13T01:25:19.641-05:00Such great wisdom!

He is the calmest most level headed person I know and I can vent to him about any spiritual questions or issues I may be struggling with. I also love the phrase "doing life" and feel SO blessed to be doing life with him. :)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949788813395469120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-63141060189952689442013-02-12T12:45:32.658-05:002013-02-12T12:45:32.658-05:00I agree with you Annie.

I also find that I'm excited about us making spiritual decisions as a couple; I find simple tasks like deciding together who to give money to and how much and deciding what we, as a family, can do when someone is in trouble to be very, very encouraging.

When the church is right it too is a safe zone. <br />I enjoy extended family as a place to share and discuss faith and to vett plans for the future. What a blessing it is to have good and caring spouse. (When children are added in they tuly challenge us to be better at our core, even psuedo children).<br /><br />URAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11661839361293276591noreply@blogger.com
