I've gotten behind on posting even though I've been studying along. =0)
Chapter 9
I only had one major thing that stood out to me in chapter 9 which was on page 96 when she says that "God didn't create Adam and Eve at the same time and then tell them to work out some compromise on how they would each achieve their personal goals in cooperative endeavor." That is so the world's thinking today on marriage but when we put it in terms of God's creation of Adam and Eve it sounds so silly and ridiculous. When we decide to buck God's plan for marriage, we create a whole world of strife for ourselves.
Chapter 10
I took notes on this chapter and I'll just copy them down here.....
"You can control your future reactions considerably by changing the way you think...." Our responses reveal how we think. We can try to modify our behavior but only changing our thinking will truly change our behavior (heart change).
Ways to Encourage My Husband:
-not complain (about the house, our church, our kids, etc.)
-be spontaneously romantic
-take care of myself, make myself appealing
-smile more
-not push him to make decisions or into things he is not called to do
-pray for him
-ask him what I can do for him each day
-speak encouraging words (I'm his cheerleader!)
