The Marriage Continuum

Think of your marriage as being on a dynamic continuum in which you and your spouse are never stuck in one place.  There is always movement either towards one another or away from one another.

Little decisions... like reaching out to touch him on the arm, like asking her how she is doing, like putting away the smartphone and listening, like snapping in anger, like turning away... become big decisions as they cause you either to grow towards one another or away from one another.

Christ is our example in that we love Him because He first loved us.  Let us be the first to show love, even if our spouse is undeserving at that moment.

 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us.
[Titus 3:5]
