What is the best vacation or staycation you’ve had as a couple?
A few weeks ago, I was taken to the emergency room via ambulance. My wife was advised to call 911 for me to be taken to the ER after I began experiencing chest pains and shortness of breath. But prior to her kneeling at our bedside and making the phone call, we unfortunately were not on the best of terms.
To put it frankly, we were in the middle of a fight. I had just refused her offer to help me with a project I was working on. She left the room, clearly not happy with me.
I ended up being fine, and was released from the hospital after an almost 24-hours stay, filled with testing, prayers, and a lot of concerns.
But it made me think … what if something bad happened to you or your spouse while you were in the middle of an argument?
Perspective changes everything.
My friend, Fawn Weaver delivered a TEDx Talk a couple of months ago about the possibility of having an argument-free marriage. She shared a story that was similar to mine, about her husband, then fiancé, being rushed to the hospital after passing out. This was one of the experiences that helped mold their perspectives on their marriage.
Going forward, when you disagree or experience disappointment and frustration, if you keep in mind that tomorrow is not promised and that you may not get another moment with your spouse, then what you say, do, and think will be influenced.
Don’t take your spouse for granted.
As I reflected in the hospital, I began thinking back to the fight we were having. This fight escalated with my refusal of her help. Ironically, I actually wanted her help, but in my frustration, I turned it down because it didn’t come when I wanted it to. In hindsight, it was pretty childish, and I realized I had actually taken her for granted.
Maybe you haven’t done something as childish as me, but perhaps you’ve taken a significant other for granted at some point in your relationship. We have to be careful in that respect. Instead, let’s place a high value on them, their thoughts, opinions, and everything they do big and small.
