As we continue in this definition of love we shift from keeping a record of all of the bad things your partner does to keeping track of all of the good. The Bible tells us that love keeps no record of wrongs. Instead, try keeping a record of all of the amazing things your partner does. A practical tip given in this episode is to start a thankfulness jar where you and your spouse daily write down something great about each other. It could be something they did that day or just something positive about them in general. Write these things down and put them in the jar then read them together once every week or two. See how big of a difference this one thing makes in your marriage! We pray this episode is a blessing to you and as always if you’d like to get in contact with us, check out additional resources or perhaps schedule a session with a licensed therapist or life coach you can find us at serenitycarecounseling.com
