Healthy indeed

Wednesday morning I was planning to run after I nursed our baby. I planned on the baby being my alarm clock. Naturally, he slept in!
Zach had to be to work so I didn't get to go.
That afternoon Zach came home from work early so I could get my run in before it got dark.
I had a fabulous run! On my way home I was thinking about how most moms, like myself have a hard time doing things for themselves. We don't want to be a burden or selfish.
I came home feeling refreshed and happy. Zach was glad I was able to go and really I loved him more for supporting me.
I concluded that unselfishly supporting each other in our interests is absolutely healthy for a marriage.
The apple for today is this: think about what interest or hobby is refreshing for you and your spouse. Ask them to help you to do this thing more often. AND ask them how you can support them in their interest as well.
