If you ever been to a professional football game, the PA announcer helps you keep up with the game. Telling you which down, how many yards to the next 1st down marker as well as penalties and so forth.
One thing that jumped out at me while at a recent game for the Indianapolis Colts, I noticed the PA guy saying like
“Manning s pass incomplete”, “Intended for Reggie Wayne”
It hit me that as a player, that must take some getting use to; to hear your flaws of the game pointed out like that. The crowd saw it, you know what you did and know what you need to do to make up for it, but to have a big booming voice shout it out, just seems like salt in the wound.
Outside of sports, there is no other profession where your flaws are pointed out like so; Imagine though if that happened in your marriage.
As you execute something, you hear: “Steve’s conversation incomplete, intended for his wife, Sally” I’m thankful we don’t have this!
We miss the mark on things in our life and in our marriage. However, we don’t always know when we have messed up or even know how to fix it. If you are not sure what the status of your marriage is in or what you actions need to be to show love to your spouse, simply ask them.
Expectations are unmet in marriage all the time all because we don’t share anymore what we would like to see happen to receive love. a good starting point is unveiling your spouses love language so you can communicate properly.
Even when we think things are great between us and your spouse, there is always ways to make it better.
A solid team never stops working on the fundamentals on the field. Without the basics in working order, a team can quickly turn a winning season into a losing one and vice versa.
You championship season starts now!
