We Met in a Bar

EEQ

If you are just joining us, I am sharing some of the questions I found most helpful at Bryan and I’s Engaged Encounter weekend (pre-marital counseling retreat with the Catholic church). I recommend any form of pre-marital counseling, whether you have already gone over the “big” questions or not, there are a ton of small ones I am sure you missed (I know we did).  To see the other questions I have posted just click on “Engaged Encounter” in the categories section :)

One of the things we spoke about on our week was being “life giving”. Sounds kind of cheesy, and I admit sometimes Bryan and I will joke about how life giving we were that day, but really it just means that you serve those around you, especially your soon-to-be-spouse. Some examples of being life giving are being generous, supportive, sensitive and selfless.  It is so important to have a servants heart.  And not servant in like, one person is the servant and the other is in charge. Each person in the relationship should see themselves as a servant to the other. That way things are balanced and each person’s needs are taken care of. 

Today’s questions:
1. Where in our relationship can I be more life giving to you?
2. When was a time that you were life giving to me?

I’ve been trying to say lots of encouraging things to Mr.Airforce, since he’s going through intense training right now. It’s amazing what a simple little compliment can do to his smile!

That[engaged]girl: it is so true! The smallest compliment can really brighten your day, and they are so easy to give!
