Hi,
I'll be starting a new marriage series soon. This is not something I've read though (do permit me creative license here and there) but something I wanna get on a soap box about. I was musing to myself the other day that marriage is sorta like driving. You get a license but hands up those of us who went for lessons? Mmmm. I see that hand maam;thank you sir ,I see that one too. And a sea of shamefully bowed heads. (I had to raise mine up a bit just to check!)
Ok, marriage is like driving like I was saying. It's amazing that the road signs we see on the streets also apply to dealing with our spouses. Another show of hands please: how many of us have been in a crash (butting heads) when we could have just YIELDED? In my part of the world it's called GIVING WAY. In this neck of the woods we drive on the left and yield or give way to traffic coming from our right. What ,no hands? Or are we nursing concussions from our last encounters at the intersection? :)
Let me put it this way. I have to give way or yield to this wonderful man of mine when he is coming from 'my right'. I can be the one who is the voice of reason; presenting the facts oh -so calmly and not have done a single thing wrong but since I want to travel forth and move forward; I should yield to him.
Not so easily done. Trust me, I know. You remember the righteous and indignant wife whose husband did this and that wrong and how long suffering she had been that she couldn't put up with it anymore la di dah?Dr. Phil put it this way 'Lady, do you want to be right or you want to be happy?'
That put things in perspective for me.
I wanna talk to y'all about this in more detail as we go on. Do come back. Smiling as I go off to do some yielding. Oh but this type I like! ;)
Feedback is always welcome.
