Confidence

Day 3 of our Count down to Valentines Days:

What builds marriages? What builds relationships?

While contemplating this thought I realized what builds our marriage...

Confidence. 

In a marriage you face like together- 

And when the other has strong confident in your abilities life is sailable.

Now don't misunderstand confidence- it is not pride, it is not vain;

but the pure selfless thought of confidence is what we all need.

Whether you like it or not- your spouse knows you the best.

They know your weaknesses and your strengths. 

And confidence can diminish quickly if the one who knows you best says something degrading or sometimes nothing at all.

We all seek for that approval, that confidence and who better to give it than the one who know you best.

And who better to receive it from the one you love the most.

Brandon is terribly good at giving me confidence, 

he will talk to me, till he's blue in the face and tell me I can do what I want to do.

That my ideas are wonderful, and to not let others discourage for that means I've lost.

I've gain a lot confidence from my marriage and I've realized how important it is. 

So, I challenge you to say those warm words to your spouse.

Tell them their wonderful, notice the SMALL details they do, go to their level and think selfless thoughts about them. 

It will build your relationship and bring joy to their life as well as yours.

Here are are few pictures from our wedding that I'd thought i'd share.
