Now Put This Principle To Work With Your Wife!
The practice of adjusting your focus is one way of—to paraphrase the Bible—thinking about what is worthy of praise, rather than what is worthy of driving you crazy. Your concerns haven’t vanished—they’re still something that will need to be addressed—but they won’t have as much power over you anymore. It will be so much easier for you to respond well, and lovingly. And as your wife feels unconditionally loved and appreciated, she is far more likely to be willing to hear what you have to say when the time comes.
