Alive and Still Married 11 The Golden Rule to Unselfishness
by
keith
It's time to once again join us in our kitchen, as wetalk about marriage
and family related topics.
What have we been up to this past week? Just a lot of snow, and trying
to stay inside, and out of the weather. If you're in the area, and
listening in a
timely manner, consider yourself invited to Robin's upcoming Tupperware
party next week.
Robin takes charge, and delivers on our topic for the day. We look at a
book of devotions written by couples who have been married for over 50
years. Taking
the titles as our topics, wegive our off the cuff opinions of those
entries.
The theme is The Golden Rule, doing to others as you would have them do
to you. Not taking each other for granted, acting selflessly, and being
empathetic
towards the other spouce. In following the rules for respect, love, and
submitting to the other prson, the benefits will come back to you. When
both are
giving to the other, both are in a place of recieving as well.
What about those times when one person feels like they're doing all the
giving? Isn't this supposed to be a 50-50 arrangement? No. There's going
to be times
when doing more than 50% is required. Even where one spouce does it all,
while the other is unable to. Each person needs their own space and time
out,
and efforts ought to be taken to let the other decompress. A ladies
night out, or time to enjoy a hobby alone,.
Being considerate of the other's needs, sometimes in the small details
of life, can mean a lot for the other. Using a strength to help with the
other's
weakness can be as simple asfastenibng a button, or sweeping a step.
Being empathetic. Take time to get away for some alone time together,
and learning
about who that person is who you're married to.
What other tidbits of advice will Robin and Keith have to talk about?
How have they had to deal with balancing times of being selfless, and
the need to
have things done for them?
Do you have your own input, or ideas on being there for your spouce? Do
you just have an idea for us to talk about, or have a burning question
for us to
try to answer?
