Sometimes I find myself driving down the road mindlessly, only to be shocked into alertness by sudden brake lights, a siren or near-accident. How often do you find yourself coasting through your marriage, failing to pay close attention to the needs of your mate? Marriage takes constant alertness, not only for what your mate needs but also for what you need from your mate. Make a habit of keeping your eyes and ears open to what is needed in your marriage. “Set your mind on things above, not on early things.” (Colossians 3:2)
