Philippians 2:4 ~ Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
What does this mean? Aren't we supposed to keep watch over ourselves? Let's look at it...there are a few words that stand out "merely" and "also". Yes we are supposed to look out for ourselves, protecting our hearts and our relationship with God AND we are supposed to look out for the interest of our spouse. When you are about to engage in a conversation, ask yourself, how do I feel about what I'm about to say? how will my spouse feel about what I'm about to say? If you have a negative reaction in anyway, don't say or do it. So today, when you are speaking, writing or thinking notice your reactions and follow them. Focus on what is good about yourself and your spouse. Let the little stuff slide and sometimes the big stuff too. Let them know it's not worth raising your blood pressure about certain things anymore and the fights will end. Always put God first, your spouse second and you third. It will work out for the best!
