Thoughts on Marriage.

If you treat your spouse as if they can/will never leave you, then the chances of them actually leaving (physically or emotionally) will increase.  

The mentality of: "Well he's stuck with me, whether or not he likes it" destroys marriages.  It is also a great excuse for:  

1. Gaining weight.

2. Being rude, mean, or inconsiderate

3. Not having or withholding sex.

4. Not working a problem out.

5. Not changing a habit the other finds irritating or an apparent character flaw.

I hope I always treat our marriage as if Josh could leave.  I know that he isn't going to, but I don't want to give him a reason to ever want to.   

Be the kind of person you would want to be married to.
