After just a few years of marriage, filled with constant arguments, a young man and his wife decided the only way to save their marriage was to try counseling. They had been at each other's throat for some time and felt that this was their last straw. When they arrived at the counselor's office, the counselor jumped right in and opened the floor for discussion.
"What seems to be the problem?" Immediately, the husband held his long face down without anything to say. On the other hand, the wife began talking 90 miles an hour describing all the wrongs within their marriage.
After 5...10...15 minutes of listening to the wife, the counselor went over to her, picked her up by her shoulders, kissed her passionately for several minutes, and sat her back down. Afterwards, the wife sat there speechless.
He looked over at the husband who was staring in disbelief at what had happened. The counselor spoke to the husband, "Your wife NEEDS that at least twice a week!"
The husband scratched his head and replied, "I can have her here every Tuesdays and Thursdays."
;D

VHave you ever been in a “really good” fight and forgotten what it was you were fighting about? I remember when my mum would ask us kids that question, “What are you fighting about?”, many times we would just look at her and honestly respond, “I don’t know.” You do know that it is not just a kid problem, right? Adults argue with one another , sometimes for days. Yet when asked why they are fighting, many of the participants in these ongoing “personal wars” respond in similar fashion, “I don’t know” or ” I don’t remember”.
I have an idea, well it is not really my idea, but it is an idea. James writes, “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” (James 4:1-3) I believe the writer of the Psalm 46 offers that instruction as well as we read in verse 10, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” God says, “Be still”. He is talking about an inner stillness ,a peace and calm on the inside that can exist because of who God is. As our inside is still and we “know God”, there is no desire that can remain to get the things of someone else. The only desire that can remain in this inner calm and peace is the desire to know God. When we take refuge in God and are “still” before Him, we find that we have nothing worth fighting about.
