As Aaron and I navigate a season in which he will be traveling internationally for thirty out of forty-nine days (but who's counting?!?), I'm reminded of the "Seven Secrets of Resilience" from the book "Married and Still Loving It", and I'm so grateful that Aaron already knew these secrets and has taught them to me and modeled them for our children:
1. All couples will face difficulties.
2. When we focus on solving the problem, rather than on blaming each other, we are more likely to find a solution.
3. We cannot change circumstances, but we can change our attitude. A positive attitude always wins.
4. We will not always understand why things happen. The question is not "Why did this happen to us?" but rather, "What can we learn from this experience?"
5. Turning to God and trusting Him with our pain is always better than running away from Him.
6. Listening to each other is always better than yelling at each other.
7. We need each other Together we will survive this problem.
