These past years have been filled with uncertainty, confusion, and anger in regards to our government and it’s leadership. I know there were stressing times under all past leadership, I just was too young and too busy to notice.

Now that i am married I look to my husband and pick his brain when it comes to political issues, As he is always aware, alert and informed. I don’t always agree with the opinion he gives along with the facts, but I respect it.

It seems in our relationship that he is the political mind, the fact gatherer while I am the heart. In our early years of marriage we didn’t know how to balance this, without my heart being bruised, and his thoughts being ignored. I’m pleased to say With age comes wisdom, and all those hours of therapy along the years is paying off. Learning not to dwell in our differences, and communicate effectively keeps us on our toes. We are like minded in one very important area and that’s our faith in God. This is our dwelling place and where our “true glue” comes from for sticking together through years of adversity.

When we go through this life it is important to lean on, and team with people who are like minded, and to respectfully balance the areas where you share differences. When you have this, growth and strength happen in the relationship.

If you are married to a complete opposite, be glad! Genuinely appreciate and learn from those differences, use them to build a rich relationship where a mind and a heart can thrive together, and don’t forget the glue!

Psalm 90:1 Lord you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations
Psalm 91:1 whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty
