Love and Respect - Follow the Checklist Part 4


Part 4: Peacemaking

Gents,

Remember the C-O-U-P-L-E: How To Spell Love To Your Wife

Closeness
Openness
Understanding
Peacemaking
Loyalty
Esteem

We have already discussed Closeness, Openness and Understanding in previous post.

The 4th checklist is for Peacemaking.

She'll feel at peace with you when:

-you let her vent her frustrations and hurts and don't get angry and close her off
-you admit you are wrong and apologize by saying, "I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?"
-you understand her natural desire to negotiate, compromise, and defer, and you meet her halfway
-you try to keep your relationship "up-to-date," resolving the unresolved and never saying, "Forget it"
-you forgive her for any wrongs she confesses
-you never nurse bitterness and always reassure her of your love
-you pray with her after a hurtful time.




Have a blessed day,
