Compromise or Solution

I'm joining Darlene at Time Warp Wife and her Titus 2sdays today (click on the image to be directed to her site).

As I reflect on a book that I'm reading aloud to the children during the homeschool day, I am struck with a piece of advice that has applied to my marriage and parenting. I cracked up laughing seeing my family in this children's literature.

The heroine and her mother are having a disagreement over a sweatshirt and the girl begins to smile and realizes that now a compromise must be reached. We've had a similar reaction many times while parenting our daughter as well as in our marriage.

Glen and I have not always seen eye to eye on things in the past twenty plus years; however, we both know that when one of us smiles, it's close to coming to an end. Marriage takes commitment and work. It's not always easy. Each day I have to make the decision to love and honor this man who has captivated my life and heart. God has blessed and has graciously given me an outstanding husband.

Ephesians 4:26-27 - Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.
