TODAY'S ACTIVITY: SHARING IS CARING

How much do you share with your wife?
Can you talk about personal issues, comfortable in discussing matters of the past, health, wealth, share your successes/challenges?
Do you shut her out when you had a hard day or don't want to be bothered when things are not going well?
Do you go to your room, go on the telephone, do a hobby to shut off your spouse and family?
Don't want to discuss relational or controversial issues?
Walk away or go for a long drive in the middle of a conversation? Don't want to be bothered or talk for days/weeks when you have stuff on your mind, have an argument or your spouse does not agree with you on something?
Do you share your job/salary or financial position?
Do you share socially?
Can you talk about events, weather, discuss a movie, news, enjoy ordinary conversations going on a drive or do you sit at home in silence?

Hebrews 13:16 King James Version (KJV)
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased
.

Today, as you reflect on the questions and scripture above make a concentrated effort to show that you care! You may not be a person who like to talk, but it is important to your wife that you share your life with her. Here are some helpful tips:
Set a time daily for a few minutes to share your day with her
Select a topic of mutual interest and have a healthy discussion
Go for a drive and communicate something that's probably on your mind and has been bothering you.
Learn to speak about issues in a calm and respectful way
If you are angry don't speak, politely express that to your wife-set a time when you will resume the conversation
Share your job, income, financial goals/plans
Communicate about issues involving the children, your likes/dislikes and preferences
Get help- speak to a mutual friend or pastor
Build a friendship that you can share things with as a friend

Caution: Don't call a friend or your mother and tell them you not feeling well or doing something important before sharing it with your spouse!

Learn to be friends-after all you will be spending a life time together!

Remember,
MARRIAGE IS A TEAM EFFORT-COMMON PURPOSE!
Don't be discouraged if she doesn't receive it at first or perhaps question your motive. Just do it- Break the silence!
Watch God in the next 28 days!
