Accept your spouse's influence

Here's a great marriage tip - Accept your spouse's influence.  Do you ever feel that you and your spouse are on different pages?  You see things differently, have different ideas about what to do to solve a problem, have different needs, desires and wants. HOW DO YOU GET ON THE SAME PAGE? One tip is to accept his or her influence.   

God’s plan for your marriage is found in Genesis 2:24. It says that two will become one. This means his will is that you work together to solve the challenges in life. That your marriage is one of we not me.  

Unfortunately, this is generally a problem for husbands. We don’t want to accept our spouse’s influence. Why? 

1. You think your way is better 

2. You think they don’t understand 

3. You think they don’t have the training or education or experience that you’ve had in this area so their opinion isn’t valid 

4. It feels like you are giving up your power and influence and leadership in your home 

5. You want to win   

If you want a great marriage that is fulfilling and satisfying, be open to listening to and implementing the input from your spouse. You show honor and respect for your spouse by listening and accepting their ideas and advice. Acknowledge they had a good idea. Thank him or her for suggesting that.   When you accept your spouse's influence, perhaps her or she will treat you differently!
