Many of us grew up living by the Golden Rule: “Treat others as you would want them to treat you.” Not only is this saying somewhat biblical, it’s a life lesson that you can carry into relationships and marriage. As we get older and/or married, it somewhat shifts a bit. Many times, when your spouse doesn’t meet our need (or needs), we get angry at them. Recently, I have learned that you should “give what you want to get”. If you want them to be more affectionate, then maybe you should be more affectionate to them. If you want them to listen more to what you are saying, then try listening and talking less during conversations. These are just some ideas, but there are many more. If you find yourself saying that you want more from your spouse, then think about if you are giving/meeting their needs as well. By doing this, you will learn to have a more serving spirit and learn to love each other more. Spread The Soup!
