Why do we take so many things to the extreme in marriage? Your spouse may comment that baths are the best. And now, you find yourself defending something that doesn't even make sense. It's just a bathtub! But the reality is that to us, it's not just a bathtub. It is feelings and emotions attached to tangible things that create our environment the way we know it.  Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  When someone comes in, even with a simple comment or remark, taking it personally is the real deal. It's like -- "Don't mess with my shower!" Where in your marriage have you gone to the extreme? Be honest-- you know where you have. Over time, this can really get into the crevices of the foundation in your marriage. These little jabs and pokes make you appear as if your game is the only game. That kind of attitude is going to get you in the doghouse or, worse, out on the curb. So, if you want to build a strong foundation, you have to remember that it's just a bathtub. See it for what it is. The K.I.S.S. ~ See it for what it is! 1. UNTANGLE YOUR THOUGHTS -- Don't vomit all over your partner if you haven't given much thought to your response. That can get you into a lot of trouble. 2. LOVE RESPECTFULLY -- It's easy to say you love someone, but what do your words and actions show? That is key. Be careful not to attack just because. Kindness goes a long way. 3. BE WHO YOU WANT TO SEE -- If you are quick to jump, then expect only the same with your spouse. It's important to have that personal check-in. Because it takes two to tango. It's essential for spouses to recognize that seemingly trivial matters can hold deeper meanings and emotions in the context of a relationship. You can build a stronger foundation based on understanding and mutual respect. Remember, it's just a bathtub. After all, a strong marriage is built on understanding and empathy, not just surface-level interactions. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?
