Day 13
"Talk with your spouse about establishing healthy rules of engagement. If your mate is not ready for this, then write out your own personal rules to "fight" by. Resolve to abide by them when the next disagreement occurs."
Our rules:
1. We will never mention divorce.
2. We will not bring up old, unrelated items from the past.
3. We will never fight in public or in front of our children.
4. We will never touch one another in a harmful way.
5. Failure is NOT an option.
My own "me" rules:
1. I will listen first before speaking.
2. I will deal with my own issues up front.
3. I will speak gently and keep my voice down.
*If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.~ Mark 3:25
