Write it Down!

Have you thought about writing down the things you are learning in your marriage? Might be a good idea. For starters, it might just come in handy with some of your own family or friends somewhere down the line. My experience through the years is that most couples (or individuals) are reluctant to go to counseling early on. Most are more likely to talk to their friends and pour out their problems that way. So, if I were you, I’d be ready to pass along some of the things you’ve learned when the opportunity might arise. *A little something to remember: When anyone begins to tell you their problems, what they’re really doing is asking for ‘help’! Now, I agree that some of the things we have learned don’t need to be written down. We can remember all we need to remember from the pain we endured and the scars we got on the journey. There’s not many things that’ll make you feel better than being able to help someone through the tough times with the wisdom you’ve gained when it was hard.

There’s really no sense in everyone having to learn some of these marriage ‘lessons’ the hard way. So, write it down….you never know when you might need it!
