Love is Thoughtful - Day 4 2nd time around

Thoughts - they manipulate the mind, they turn us for or against something, we become our thoughts. Remember when you and your spouse first met, you didn't know much but there was a mutual attraction for each other. You thought about him/her all the time. Your thoughts overtook every part of your life. They were on your mind always and then you got married or serious and you saw parts of them that irritated or annoyed you. I bet they saw the same in you too. This is the destructive part of the relationship, if you allow your thoughts to focus on the annoying stuff, you will become negative towards your relationship. Now if you think about your meeting, you will remember and think positive about your relationship.

Do you remember the first time you laid eyes on your spouse? I do, I was crazy and flew to Vegas to meet him. I had friends come with me but I flew here and came to his house. (which I had given the address to many people, just in case he was a crazy man) I remember seeing his eyes the first time and my heart fluttering. I remember his smile as he leaned on the wall at the doorway into the kitchen. I remember that first kiss and the first I love you. I remember the laughter we shared. These are the thoughts I like to fill my mind with, not the things he didn't do or didn't do correctly (according to me).

Take a moment and remember your first month of dating, and how you felt. Remember that you would do anything for that man/woman of yours. You would call in the middle of the day just to see what they were doing and if you could help them out. Well, today is the day to start that again. Contact your spouse and let them know you are thinking about them and wondering how their day is going. Ask if there is something you can do for them to make their day better. Let them know they are in your thoughts and prayers as they go through life. This is so very important to our spouses and for you too. Let me know how it goes!
