Turning Away from Bids for Attention from Your Spouse?

What research indicates:

If you turn away from your partner more than you turn to your partner in these moments you will either build up a bond or break one down. If your spouse wants too much of your time then that is another issue that should be addressed.

Why do some people have happy marriages and others have a living nightmare? Invest in your spouse and grow in your connection. Accepting a bid for time and attention from your spouse more than turning away from them in these times will increase your shared "emotional bank account" according to Gottman Institute research. Their research concludes that without this kind of behavior couples grow apart. But with the positive turning to behaviors outweighing the turning away then a couple should expect to feel happy in marriage together. Seems simple but it is the little things that make up our lives.

I do not really know. But som...

How to Not Be Offended

2 Timothy 2:22-26 22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. How can we not be offended? That is a tough question to answer when you are in the midst of a conflict with anyone. Maybe there is unforgiveness or there is rebellion in your life and you think too highly of yourself. Or maybe you think it is ok to not forgive someone when they do something against you even if they have admitted the offense and asked for forgiveness. Perhaps yo...
