POPULARITY
The coming together of a husband and wife is a challenging experience that requires compromise, courage, and humility. This week we talk about what true humility is, why it is so important, and then we discuss five specific ways you can further develop humility in yourself and your marriage:Take responsibility for your side of the equation.Look for your spouse's strengths. And, verbalize them.Seek to understand your spouse's point of view. And, listen well.Be willing to admit when you are wrong and ask for forgiveness.Give your spouse permission to provide you with feedback.Corollary: Be extremely gentle, kind, and encouraging when providing your spouse with feedback.A few resources that we reference during the conversation include:Measuring Humility and Its Positive Effects by Don Emerson Davis, Jr. and Joshua N.
