I recall the temptation to fester as well. I am very thankful that my husband had a no tolerance attitude towards a whole lot of attitude. <br /><br />It helped me to learn how to process things correctly, pray when the situation called for it, and get over myself so we could enjoy one another. I remember it, but it was such a short period in our then young marriage that the memory is faint.<br /><br />It's good to be reminded the damage it causes. Sin is always crouching at the door waiting for us to allow it to master us.Elspeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/17495546895657214080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-80362970348300862522016-01-20T03:38:16.258-06:002016-01-20T03:38:16.258-06:00The "Cycle Down" effect is well studied ...The "Cycle Down" effect is well studied in one area: Suicide. When someone is suicidal, it brings on its own downward cyclical spiral of logic, bringing the person to the point of "pulling the trigger". Yet from failed suicide attempts, we also know that the instant they do the action they intend to kill themselves with, they instantly regret it.<br /><br />It's always fascinating the way we work ourselves into things that we know is wrong/doesn't work, yet we cling to those emotions because they activate something we want.Looking Glassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-23544984357008416212016-01-14T07:09:11.180-06:002016-01-14T07:09:11.180-06:00Hi PG, good to hear from you, it's been a whil...Hi PG, good to hear from you, it's been a while!

Working may not be ideal, but it's where I am for the time being, so I ought to make the most of it, not make myself miserable.<br /><br />And, of course, I will keep it in mind for my marriage too - I'm just fortunate that right now the husband and I continue along smoothly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
