A mutually encouraging couple is powerful!
Encouragement between partners brings and bridges in, Love’s rain and reign.
Choose to encourage each other as a spiritual practice, or practical practice!
Try to see and name the best of one another daily, until it is amplified into being! See the other as their best poem, and try to pronounce that! Help co-borth it into existence! Use your words and attitude like that-to birth the best of one another into shining! That’s what we can give one another! And a couple which does that, will keep glowing over time!
Edification of others, is often for our own good, but it makes a better representation of God in the end-which may be one of the main points of marriage, collaborations, alliances, or life in general. In our marriage and collaboration of becoming, my wife and I try to practice encouraging each other—not always easy—as we know one another’s shadows well, and can easily articulate them.
But when we do instead, choose to name His opinion of one another, or at least seek to name it from the heart of Love, something bigger than us shines! A better art, steps forth! A better representation of us both!
I also think, actively encouraging one another is more creative and courageous than pointing out flaws! Take more courage to be, to en-courage another! And it brings us all towards our real names. Let’s build one another up, rather than tear one another down! For the sake of at least being good art!
