Stop fighting fair if you want a great marriage.
That's right. I said stop fighting fair.
Everyone always says we need to fight fair if we want an
extraordinary marriage.
They're wrong.
Fighting fair is when I treat you how you treat me.
If you give me the cold shoulder then it's only fair for me
to give you the cold shoulder.
If you're emotionally distant from me then it's only fair
for me to be emotionally distant from you.
If you say a sharp word to me then it's only fair for me to
say something snappy to you.
If you insult me then I insult you. If you say bad things about
me then I say bad things about you.
I'm here to tell you that if you want an extraordinary
marriage then stop fighting fair today.
If you want more love in your marriage then be more loving.
If you want more forgiveness in your marriage then be more forgiving.
If you want your relationship to be kind and warm then be
kind and warm even when your spouse isn't.
Follow me?
Decide today to stop fighting fair and to take the high
road by demonstrating the behavior you seek.
By doing this, you create a new relationship environment that
will transform your marriage, allowing you to fall madly in love
all over again.
That's it for today. This is Mike & Gayle Tucker hoping for
you to be mad about marriage! See you next week!!
