Consider

I guess I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. :)

It is easy for me to possibly get too personal and give too much information on here so forgive my vagueness. :)

Consider in your relationship...is there something one or both of you do that you don't like?
Lately I have realized there is something I do that I don't like. (no it isn't my eating that I'm talking about here. :))
Who will change that if I don't?! What I did was I looked at the problem and thought about what would happen to mine and Zach's relationship if it continued and I didn't do anything to change it? I didn't like what I saw.

For the encouragement. First we think, then we decide, then we do something. Big change starts with small changes. The best thing to do when you have a big problem is to break it down and decide to do something today that takes you in the right direction. Pray for the strength, pray for the help to remember your resolve and then do it when the opportunity presents itself..or better yet, create the opportunity. (if that applies)

If there is something that your spouse does that you don't like. Consider if you possibly do the same thing..or something close to it. Are you a good example of strength in their weakness? If not, work on yourself first. We draw more strength than we all realize from a good example.

Did this post make sense? Was I too vague? :)
