(I’m bad!  FYI, I am NOT preaching at TomKat…they just came to mind as I finished writing this post.  As usual, this post was written as a message to myself. And maybe, if you so choose, for you as well.)

• You can’t control your spouse.
• You can’t change your spouse.

• God can’t control your spouse.
• God can’t change your spouse.

• Only your spouse can control your spouse.
• Only your spouse can let God change your spouse.

Both of you must choose to make it work.  Both of you must submit to God.  Both of you must give up trying to control and change the other person.

Rather than focus on all the negatives, take the few positives and celebrate them immensely.  Find excuses to love your spouse unconditionally.  Hopefully, your love will compel them to put God in control and let him be the change maker.
