Chapter Five

Phil 4:8 "Por ultimo, hermanos, consideren bien todo lo verdadero, todo lo respetable, todo lo justo, todo lo puro, todo lo amable, todo lo digno de admiracion, en fin, todo lo que sea excelente o merezca elogio."

What is admirable about your partner?

When was the last time you complimented him on that?

Think of a time when someone complimented you and you tried your hardest to live up to that.

What unrealistic expectations have you had in your marriage/toward your husband?

Ruth Graham Bell: I pity the married couple who expect too much from one another. It is a foolish woman who expects her husband to be to her what only Jesus Christ can be: always ready to forgive, totally understanding, unendingly patient, invariably tender and loving, unfailing in every area, anticipating every need, and making more than adequate provision. Such expectations put a man under an impossible strain."
