Love Tip # 4
Life is full of distractions isn’t it? In our world, instant response is not just appreciated but expected. We are distracted by errands, homework, kids, tv, phone calls, email, etc. While I have been writing this blog post, I’ve had four phone calls and who knows how many emails.
In a world like that, everyone of us appreciates someone who cares enough to put all the distractions away and focus solely on us for a moment. In “Twenty Things I Need To Tell My Wife”, the #8 thing is, “I want to hear what you have to say.”
Today, become an oasis of presence by being wholly present when your spouse is around. Have a five minute conversation today where the other person is the only one in the world at that moment. Ask about work and really listen. Ask how you can pray for him/her. Be at full attention during every conversation and don’t do anything else that might distract you. Show your love and your partner’s importance today by putting away distractions and being present!
