DAY 18

Celebrate your spouse’s strengths instead of pointing out weaknesses.

When we focus on something, it starts to seem bigger. If you choose to focus on your spouse’s strengths, they’ll seem even bigger, but if you focus only on weaknesses and flaws, you’ll see them even when they aren’t really there. If you must focus on flaws, always start with your own flaws. You are the only part of the marriage that you truly have the power to change. Always be willing to build up your spouse instead of looking for ways to tear him/her down.

“And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?” Matthew 7:3 (NLT)

Am I better at celebrating my spouse’s strengths or at pointing out his/her weaknesses?
