Love is not rude
"He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be reckoned a curse to him." Proverbs 27:14
"The bottom line is the genuine love minds it manners."
"There are two main reasons why people are rude: ignorance and selfishness."
"Here are three guiding principles when it comes to practicing etiquette in your marriage:
1. Guard the Golden Rule: Treat your mate the same way you want to be treated (see Luke 6:31)
2. No double standards. Be as considerate to your spouse as you are to strangers and coworkers.
3. Honor requests. Consider what your husband or wife already asked you to do or not to do. If in doubt, then ask."
Today's Dare:
"Ask your spouse to tell you three things that cause him or her to be uncomfortable or irritated with you. You must do so without attacking them or justifying your behavior. This is from their perspective only."
(I highly encourage you to purchase this book. I am only giving little snippets each day. The book is so rich with scripture driven advice and counsel.)
