In addition to saying nothing negative to your spouse again today, do at least one unexpected act of kindness.
Kindness is love in action. Kindness is how love ACTS to maximize a postive circumstance.Patience avoids a problem, kindness creates a blessing. These 2 sides of love are cornerstones on which many other attributes are built.
When you are operating kindess, your are careful how you treat your spouse, never being unneccessarily harsh. You are senstive and tender. Even if you have hard things to say, you will bend over backwards to make your rebuke/challenge easier to hear.
Kindness inspires you to be agreeable instead of being obstinate,relunctant or stubborn, you cooperate and stay flexible. Rather than complaining, you look for reasons to compromise and accomodate.
Kindess thinks ahead. The kind husband/wife will be the one who greets first,smiles first, and forgives first. They do not require the other to get his/her act together before showing love. When acting from kindness, you see the need and then make your move.
Wasnt kindness the first thing that drew you to your spouse in the first place? Werent you expecting to enjoy thier kindness for the rest of your life? Didnt your mate feel the same way about you? Even though years can take the edge off desire, your enjoyment is still linked to the daily level of kindness expressed.
