$\"\"$ <\/a>40 Days to a Better Marriage Tip of the Day\u2013Monday, 3\/4:\u00a0 Celebrate your Victories.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Marriage can be a wild ride.\u00a0 As I type this, my upstairs\u00a0toilet is leaking through\u00a0the light fixture in my entry way ceiling!\u00a0 Plumbers, tile guys, and electricians\u00a0are scratching their heads.\u00a0 It would be easy for any couple to start snapping at each other in light of the tension, frustration and expense.\u00a0 Fortunately, through God\u2019s abundant grace, \u00a0Lisa and I are\u00a0both working\u00a0hard\u00a0to do what we can to support each other through what is turning out to be a\u2026challenging day.<\/p>\n

How do you get through stressful times with your love securely intact?\u00a0 You intentionally call to mind, discuss, and remind each other of all the other things you have already overcome as a couple.\u00a0 Maybe you even laugh a little as you remember the list of crazy things that you\u2019ve faced, beaten, and grown through already.<\/p>\n

Chances are you\u2019ve weathered at least a few storms in your time together.\u00a0 Today, recall those times.\u00a0Remember the successes you\u2019ve shared and the lessons you\u2019ve\u00a0learned \u00a0Share those stories of all the dragons you\u2019ve slayed together and celebrate how much you\u2019ve overcome with God\u2019s grace.\u00a0 Pull each other a little closer and\u00a0acknowledge how you\u2019ve been there for each other through it all.\u00a0 Promise to\u00a0be there for\u00a0each other tomorrow no matter what.<\/p>\n
