The Importance of Listening

 

Each week during the Rekindled Challenge, we are asking members of Faith Fellowship to share a memory, thought, or something God has taught them through their marriage. Check out Sue’s story.


My father didn’t believe in girls having their driver’s license until they were 21 years old.  Needless to say, my father was very controlling.

My husband however has always been very sweet and generous to me, so one day a few months before our wedding he offered to teach me to drive.  Well, in that one lesson he had me doing everything;  driving forward, driving backward, parking, anything and everything you have to know about driving.

ALL IN ONE LESSON!! 

Well, needless to say, after driving back to my house in silence, after stopping the car, we looked at each other, and said at the SAME moment, “this isn’t going to work“!

Wow!  We agreed and have agreed on most things ever since and really try to listen to one another.
