DAY 22
Don’t treat your spouse the way your spouse treats you. Treat your spouse the way God treats you.
There’s a natural tendency to want to “keep score” in marriage. We want credit for all our good deeds and we want payback for any wrongs our spouse might have committed towards. The problem with keeping score in marriage is that both spouse’s always lose. God gave us His best while we were at our worst, and He calls us to love each other in His perfect example of love. Give your best even when your spouse is at his/her worst. People need love most when they deserve it least.
“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.” Romans 12:17 (NIV)
Do I freely give my spouse the love and grace that God has freely given me?
