Day 8: Love is not jealous

10/22/16

Love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire. —Song of Solomon 8:6 NIV

TODAY’S DARE
Determine to become your spouse’s biggest fan and to reject any thoughts of jealousy. To help you set your heart on your spouse and focus on their achievements, take yesterday’s list of negative attributes and discreetly burn it. Then share with your spouse how glad you are about a success he or she recently enjoyed.

Journal Questions:
How hard was it to destroy the list? What are some positive experiences that you can celebrate in the life of your mate? How can you encourage them toward future successes?

My responses: I told Steve how proud I was of him for how we handled J and the "talk: and punishments. I can keep praising him and encouraging him to repair his relationship with Devin and Caitlynn and encourage right and good things (and not drugs and irresponsibility). And I am already doing this.
