The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield. James 3:17
In Philippians 2 Christ modeled an attitude of willingness, flexibility, and humble submission - laying down his rights for the good of others.
Be willing to not insist on your own way. Instead of treating your spouse like an enemy or someone to be guarded against, start by treating him/her as your closest, most honored friend.
Are you willing to bend to demonstrate love to your spouse? If it doesn't matter in the long run--especially in eternity--then give up your rights and choose to honor the one you love.
The Love Dare, p 58
