Day 12 of the 28-Day Marriage Challenge

Day 12: Your Spouse First

In the best of times and worst of times, who do you turn to first? If your spouse isn't the first one who hears your good news and your bad news, something needs to change. In Friends, Partners, and Lovers, I write, "You have vowed your life to one person. That person must come first." Your husband/wife doesn't have to be your only friend, but they better be your best friend. In most situations, they should be the first to hear of your successes, failures, hopes, and fears. When they consistently aren't your first person, that's a sign your friendship is eroding. Healthy couples intentionally turn to their spouse before others knowing that consistently turning toward one another will strengthen their connection.  Application: When something happens today, intentionally choose to tell your spouse about it before telling anyone else. For more, see:One Habit that Starves Your MarriageOne Thing You Must Show Your Spouse
