When you and your husband have something fairly important to talk about or a tough decision to make, slow down and take your time.

Don’t talk about it when you are tired or hungry. Pick a good time and remind yourselves that you have the time to pray and talk it through. Brainstorm ideas and look at options. Ask for suggestions from wise friends. Talk and pray until you both feel pretty comfortable with your choices.

Remind each other that you can make different plans if those choices don’t pan out the way you expected. Most decisions don’t have to be set in stone. You can explore and make changes as you go along.

Basically you are giving you and your husband permission to relax in the process, consider options, and stay flexible.

The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live. Flora Whittemore
