BECOME A STUDENT OF YOUR SPOUSE

Why do people go to school, whether it be college, trade school, or online?  People attend school to improve themselves, so they can live the life they desire.

When you are attending school, other things have to be put on the back burner, and during that time, you are focused on how much time you spend reading your lessons and studying the subject at hand.  You put in the time because you want to earn a good grade.  Most people want an “A” in class.  An “A” means I know the material, and I hope not just to know the material, but also to understand it.

If someone gave you a test on your husband or wife, how would you score? Would you get an A? B? C? D? or would you flunk the test?   I know what you think you should receive; however, what would your spouse give you? 

My challenge to you is to become a STUDENT of your SPOUSE.

One definition for a student is a person formally engaged in learning, a pupil; a person who studies, investigates, or examines thoughtfully.

Do you study your spouse? Do you know their likes, their dislikes, their goals, their dreams, their fears, and their aspirations? To understand these things about your spouse, you must study them, seek to understand them, and learn to communicate effectively with them.  No one should know more about your mate than you do.

For your marriage to be fulfilling, you must become a student of your spouse to understand what makes them tick and what ticks them off.  Studying your spouse can lead to a more intimate relationship with them.  So get to studying!
