The purple monkey became a distraction for me - like a
little purple sliver in my brain.

Life is filled with purple monkeys - distractions that keep us from
focusing on what's important or what we should be focusing on.

Purple monkeys keep us from our priorities - and sometimes that
priority is our marriage.

The last thing you need is a purple monkey distracting you from
making your relationship with your spouse the best it can be.

The purple monkey could be in the form of overworking, indulging
in certain behaviors like overeating or other addictions, or even
the past.

Your past does not equal your future, so don't let it become a
distraction that keeps you from making progress and living life
to the fullest.

Do yourself a favor, strap that little purple monkey to a rocket
and blast it into space so it's gone for good! Free yourself
from its distracting thoughts and influences so you can focus
on what's really important to you.

Until next week, this is Mike & Gayle Tucker and we want
you to be mad about marriage!
