How one spends their money or treats the private time with their spouse.
Is the measure of their spiritual realtionshiop with Christ.
I watch some of my friends and how they tear each other apart.
They constantly battle for position.
I was reminded of power, watching George W Bush and Barak Obama walking the outside walkway at the White house the other day.
I played it in slow motion.
At each turn in the walk, Bush moved out in front, then at the next turn Obama moved out in front.
Each step was a step for power.
Just like the little second graders who try and make the door of the bus first.
Then they both try and force their way into the last seat on the bus.
What they don't realize is that the rest of their lives they will look for the parking spot at the front of the line at the mall.
Perspective changes but the pursuit always lingers.
Loving someone and caring about someone is not surrendering.
It is about being at the top of the hill or in the valley together...

Yep and you could probably disclose what areas they struggle in their marriage.
