10 keys to help make your relationship with your spouse more loving.

In Greg and Erin Smalley’s book, The Wholehearted Wife, they list ten keys to a more loving relationship:

  1. Honoring — the value of a diamond 
  2. Nourishing — honor in action 
  3. Accepting personality and other differences — understanding our unique design 
  4. Connecting spiritually — relating at the soul level 
  5. Fostering communication — a matter of the heart 
  6. Connecting sexually — the secrets of a great sex life 
  7. Resolving conflict in a healthy manner — a doorway to intimacy
  8. Defusing anger — taming volcanoes 
  9. Forgiving — set the prisoners free 
  10. Transforming life’s trials into blessings — treasure hunting

Giving Thanks Together

The holiday season is a perfect time for giving thanks to our good God and counting the blessings that He provides. See if your heart change doesn’t impact your mood, your relationships and your perspective. May we all reject attitudes such as ingratitude, self-pity, fear, and envy. Instead, may we embrace a grateful heart.
