Day 20 of the 28-Day Marriage Challenge

Day 20: Influence Me

Nobody sees us more than our spouses. They have the behind the curtain look of who we actually are. In ways they likely know we are better than anyone can imagine and in other ways they know we struggle far more than people see.Nobody should love us more than our spouses. They have vowed their lives solely to us. This combination--knowledge and love--should give our spouses a unique ability. No one should influence us more. In Friends, Partners, and Lovers, I ask, "Do I allow my spouse to influence me?" In a healthy marriage, husband and wife deeply influence one another. They listen and learn from each other in order to become better people...and better spouses. If your partner doesn't influence you, something is wrong. Either they have lost your respect or you are filled with pride. Neither are helpful.  Application: What's one thing your spouse has been telling you that you don't believe? Reconsider. For more, see:5 Things Not to Do to Your Husband in PublicTrust Your Wife's Superpower
