Your Question:
Can a small act of kindness bring new life to our relationships when we're feeling tired?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle with feeling tired and disconnected from each other. But I truly believe that a small act of kindness can bring new life to our relationships when we're feeling tired. When we're exhausted, it's easy to fall into patterns of self-pity and expectation that our partner will take care of us. But what if we flipped that script and chose to serve each other instead? I've seen it time and time again in my own marriage to Susan - when I take the time to do something thoughtful and considerate for her, even when I'm feeling tired, it brings new strength and vigor to our relationship. It's not about grand gestures, but about the little things that show we care. Whether it's helping with household chores or simply taking the time to listen to each other, these small acts of kindness can be a powerful reminder that we're not alone and that we're in this together. As a husband and a father, I've learned that relationships are not about avoiding hardships, but about growing through them together. When we choose to serve each other, even when it's hard, it creates a sense of abiding joy and peace that's hard to find elsewhere. And that's what I think is so beautiful about marriage - it's a reminder that we're not just individuals, but part of a larger whole that's greater than the sum of its parts.
