God never told us that living a life for Him would be easy! It's the difference between us and others that makes us stand out. Fortunately we can rest assured that God doesn't command us to do something that He doesn't also provide the way and power to do it.

That all came to a horrific stop the first week we were married. I cannot delve more into that. My husband and I do talk, but we have to be careful on the subjects we choose. I love talking about God/Jesus and most definitely politics. This tends to infuriate my husband since he is at opposite opinions than myself.

I remember the few times my dad lost his temper, and mom's feelings were hurt and she retreated to her room, etc. I hated that! My dh and I don't try to hide anything from our children, but we don't "fight" either. Our personalities are SOOO laid-back that disagreements are few and far between. Sounds boring doesn't it? In fact, I sometimes wonder if something is wrong in the way we "communicate" since we so rarely disagree. Especially with all the Christian radio programs that say disagreements are part of a healthy marriage. I guess my dh is more important to me than getting my way, or getting my point across. Whenever he's wrong, or I'm proven wrong, the standard joke is, "Let's mark it on the calendar!" And we laugh. I remember after 2 years of marriage, I was walking with a new friend, a neighbor, and she asked me "how do your husband and you fight?" I just looked askance at her. She clarified by saying that her parents had taught her well. Basically, she and her dh fought physically...throwing things at each other, etc. Talk about shock! People really think this solves problems??? My parents rarely disagreed in front of us, and there was a good feeling of safety in that.

Something that I've read, bring married and a parent, that hit me was when someone said that make sure your disagreements don't only occur behind closed doors. You need to teach by demonstration how to work through problems. I know that it’s a lot of work both way– in some ways I think our parents make it look too easy.

I want his heart to trust in me. I hope that when I get married my husband will feel comfortable enough sharing with me all his inner most feelings and emotions. I want his heart to trust in me.
