Ephesians 4:1-2
Walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love.
Prayer: Thank the Lord for your individual gifts and temperaments, and ask forgiveness for your impatience. Ask for the wisdom to appreciate each other with love and respect. Also ask God for help with situations at work, at church, or in other outside settings that may try your patience and affect your interactions at home.
Action: This week, make a special effort to see each other from the vantage point of God’s design. Realize he did not create your spouse’s gifts, temperament, gender, and passions to frustrate and annoy you. Talk together about what it means to be patient with each other in different situations. (For discussion questions, see page 245 in Appendix A.)
