| sugiggs | says | In the deep and private corridors of your heart, there is a room. It's called the Appreciation Room. |
| sugiggs | says | It's where your thoughts go when encounter positive and encouraging things about your spouse. |
| sugiggs | says | Most things in the Appreciation Room were likely written in then initial stages of your relationship. |
| sugiggs | says | Most things in the Appreciation Room were likely written in the initial stages of your relationship. |
| sugiggs | says | But you may have found that you dont visit this special room as often as you once did. |
| sugiggs | says | Down another darker corridor of your heart lies the Depreciation Room and unfortunately you visit there as well |
| sugiggs | says | On its walls are written the things that bother and irritate you about your spouse. These things were place there out of frustration, |
| sugiggs | says | hurt, feelings, and the disappointment of unmet expectations. |
| sugiggs | says | If you stay in this room long enough, you get depressed and start expressing things like 'My wife is so selfish' |
| sugiggs | says | or 'My husband can be such a jerk'. Or maybe 'I think I married the wrong person' |
| sugiggs | says | But know this. Spending time in the Depreciation Room kills marriages. Divorces are plotted in this room. |
| sugiggs | says | The more time you spend in this place, the more your heart devalues your spouse. |
| sugiggs | says | You may say 'But these things are true!' Yes, but so are the things in the Appreciation Room. |
| sugiggs | says | Everyone fails and has areas the need growth. |
| sugiggs | says | Let's get down to the real issue here. Love knows about the Depreciation Room and does not live in denial that it exists. |
| sugiggs | says | But Love chooses not to live there. Love chooses to believe the best about people. |
| sugiggs | says | It's time to let love lead your thoughts and your focus. |
| sugiggs | says | **The only reason you should glance in the door of the Depreciation Room is to know how to pray for your spouse** |
| sugiggs | says | And the only reason you should ever go in this room is to write 'COVERED IN LOVE' in huge letters across the walls |
| sugiggs | says | It's time to move into the Appreciation Room, to settle down and make it your home. |
| sugiggs | says | You must develop the habit of reining in your negative thoughts and focusing on the positive attributes of your mate. |
| sugiggs | says | This is crucial step as you learn to lead your heart to truly love your spouse. |
| sugiggs | says | It is a decision that you make, whether they deserve it or not. |
| sugiggs | says | **Today's Dare**: Get two sheets of paper. On the first one, spend a few minutes writing out positive things about your spouse. |
| sugiggs | says | Then do the same with negative things on the second sheet. Place both sheets in a secret place for another day. |
| sugiggs | says | There is a different purpose and plan for each. At some point during the remainder of the day, pick a positive attribute from the first list |
| sugiggs | says | and thank your spouse for having this characteristic. |
| sugiggs | says | -end |
| sugiggs | says | *Which list was easier to make? What did this reveal about your thoughts? what attribute did you thank your spouse for having?* |
