I have played nearly every game system since Pong so I’m a pretty good game-head. However, never did I think that my prowess for games like Mortal Kombat and Mario Cart translate into the game, Just Dance 2. I suppose my days listening to Vanilla Ice actually paid off. Anyway, I’m good, particularly considering my size and lack of agility.
On the screen you are given a score and as your score climbs, there are stars that appear. The goal is to get 5 stars. For the first time today I noticed that the stars get progressively bigger, and after looking at the first four, one wouldn’t notice unless you could compare the first to the fifth. The growth among those is so slight. It’s taken a lot of work, but I can top the score every time on James’ Brown’s “I Feel Good.” Now, if I can only get as good on Blondie’s “Call Me.”
The happiness in your marriage may be two stars, three stars, or even four stars, but is something keeping you from reaching that fifth star? Did you know there was such a thing? Like in the game, you may not know unless you’ve been there.
Did you know that you can be happy at home? Did you know that you can learn how to handle your kids? Did you know that you can go fishing and your wife actually be glad and miss you while you’re gone. Did you know that you can spend money on clothes and your husband not question it? Did you know that divorce doesn’t have to be the answer to your marital unhappiness?
Marriage is not always a bed of roses, but it is always a place that we can grow as individuals and as a couple. You just have to learn how to do it. I’ve worked with many couples who come in and then leave knowing what they should do to make their marriage better. Sometimes knowledge of what to do and how to do it is all you need.
If I put you to a task that you were unfamiliar with and asked you to do it perfectly the first time, you’d get frustrated and would do whatever you could to get away. However, if you spent time learning, you would become much more adept at the task and even learn to enjoy it.
If demands on our life are higher than our skill set, we become angry. Many just don’t know how to get the job done in their marriage because they lack the skills. The skills can be taught!! This can be done through counseling or through classes conducted at your local church. Seek these out and strive for that Five Star Marriage.
