Genuine Apology

I apologize that I have not been around here lately. This summer was super busy with a lot of outings and I don't think that being busy is going to change much, as school has started for my stepson and oldest, and I will be going back to school come this October to become a Licensed Massage Therapist. I also team teach doTERRA Classes throughout the month. Anyway, just a little explanation as to why I have been MIA.

However, here is a great quote from Marriage Missions International:

"Humble yourself enough to give or receive a genuine apology. At a certain point in every marriage, one or both of you is bound to mess up. Someone will do something to disappoint the other. The hallmark of a good marriage is how well you move past these incidents. Can you sincerely say 'I’m sorry' without being prompted? Can you accept when your spouse says 'I’m sorry' without questioning their sincerity?" -T.P.J.

Mutual Respect

Marriage is a partnership that must be built on mutual respect. That’s a basic building block of any relationship. Two are better than one, the Bible says. But when one makes all the decisions alone, the value of two minds is wasted." - The Agape Connection

Grace-Based Home

"Sometimes we fool ourselves into expecting perfection. Your home needs to be a place where you allow your mate to make mistakes. In a grace-based home my mate isn't going to be perfect, but my mate is not my enemy. My mate is the love of my life. Where do you need to go back to your mate & say, 'I came down on you too hard, will you forgive me? You can make mistakes, because I've made mistakes too.'" -G&B Rosberg (snagged from Marriage Missions International)
