Hebrews 5:14
Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong (NLT).
Prayer: Thank the Lord for setting the example of always making the first move. Ask him for the wisdom and strength to make the first move for each other in every situation, minor or major. Ask him to help you stop the Crazy Cycle and stay on the Energizing Cycle, motivated by love and respect.
Action: This coming week (or month), practice being the mature one who makes the first move. Talk together about how it feels when one of you makes the first move to end a stalemate and the Crazy Cycle. (For discussion questions, see page 252 in Appendix A.)
