Two of Us: Qualities of Spouse

Refocusing on your
spouses qualities

Reflect

Prayer

Help me to really internalize all the wonderful qualities my spouse has.
I often take his/her goodness for granted and look for other things. 
You know Father, I do that much too frequently. 
That is not good for us and it certainly isn’t appreciating what You have done for me. 
Let me change.  I ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
