~ Day 3 & 4 ~

Well, Sundays are not usually good days for blogging...so all you get on day 3 is that is was about how love is not selfish.

As for day 4, it talks about how love is thoughtful. "Love requires thoughtfulness -on both sides- the kind that builds bridges through the constructive combination of patience, kindness, and selflessness. Love teaches you how to meet in the middle, to respect ad appreciate how your spouse uniquely thinks. A husband should listen to his wife and learn to be considerate of her unspoken messages. A wife should learn to communicate truthfully and not say one thing while meaning another."

Isn't it so true. When a couple is dating, engaged, and newly married we think of ways to impress our husband/wife. We think of the things we put on and if they will impress, we think of what we will say, we think of things we can do for and with our special someone, we think about that other person ALL THE TIME! I know that after only 6 1/2 years I am ashamed to admit that I do not think through every aspect of my day and how it will IMPRESS my husband! I should though, let this be a challenge to all the married folks out there. Let your spouse know that you have thought of them today...no special reason, just that they were on your mind!

"How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you." Psalm 139:17 & 18
