Last night we started an 8 week class on strengthening and building a healthy marriage to last a life time. We joined 8 other couples, we were served dinner, met new people and then watched a video. Over coffee, dessert and candlelight, individually we discussed some great questions that helped us take stock in our marriage.
The first session was about building strong foundations. I wanted to share some tidbits:
Love is more than feelings
*a definition of love - meeting the needs or desires of another, sometimes at a cost to ourselves
*the greatest need of our husband or wife is to feel understood and loved
I came away remembering it is best to be proactive versus reactive when responding to any relationship.
*Proactive-focusing on each other's desires
*Reactive-focusing on each other's behavior
What a great way to spend an evening with my husband. Stay tuned for the Art of Communication!
