There’s a saying that goes something like this, if we’re to understand someone else we need to walk two moons in their shoes. For most of us we easily apply this to friends, nieghbors, and casual acquaintances. We give these people lots of grace and understanding for their little quirks, afterall they had a tough life, a mother who was overbearing, a father who abandoned them when they were a teen, or a handicap that held them back. But when it comes to our spouses, are we as generous?

I don’t like that question. Even though I asked it myself I have to answer no. I set almost an impossible standard for my husband. And yet, to truly love him, to understand why he is the way he is, I must see the world through his eyes.

A challenge to me, and to you, is to try walking in his shoes for one day and record what you find.

Let me know what you discover.
