“We create our own destiny by the words we speak. Be it positive, negative or neutral what we say has a direct impact on our future.” -Dude at Bible Study
I JUST wrote a post about my shitty actions and how they are Affecting My Bride. Not 5 minutes after hitting the “Publish” button I receive the following remark:
“…Sure you’ve screwed up the relationship. But nothing inspires apathy like watching you mope on the side of the road. Get up man!”
It continues to boggle my mind how good old Chip can put into words what My Bride thinks. She has said similar things in the past. It appears that I refuse to listen to her but I am perfectly willing to listen to what someone, anyone, else says. Chip has taken a 2×4 of truth and reality and smashed it across my teeth.
Thank you, Chip.
Here’s the plan.* I am going to speak the blessings I’m looking for into existence. Here is, exactly, what I am looking for:
- A healthy marriage
- A marriage others look to for inspiration
- A relationship based on trust and intimacy
- The elimination of depression from our lives
- A clear mind
- A mutual desire for each other
There will be way more added to that list, but that’s plenty for now.
The things on that list WILL be happening. I don’t care what I have to do or what I have to kill, THEY WILL HAPPEN!
*Planning makes me nervous. They have all exploded in my face of late. I’m doing it anyway.
Is it possible that abuse and harsh words is your primary love language?

I would not call them a love language…strongest motivators is more like it. I respond very quickly to negativity.
