He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.

—Proverbs 16:32

TODAY’S DARE

Choose today to react to tough circumstances in your marriage in loving ways instead of with irritation. Begin by making a list below of areas where you need to add margin to your schedule. Then list any wrong motivations that you need to release from your life.

2) Daily devotionals and worship time with God.

5) Add a date night to the calendar
6) Parent child date night
7) Add some "me" time
8) Pursuing my gifts and not letting them go to waste
