Believe it or not?

Our ConnectGroup from church wrapped up our Andy Stanley video series, "What happy couples know" last night.  Andy continues to deliver a message that is fresh, as if I was hearing it for the first time, but grounded in words that were spoken and written 2000 years ago.  In last night's video, he spoke about the gap that exists in relationships between expectations and experiences.  There is frequently a gap that has to be filled with something.  That something is either "believe the best" about the other person or "assume the worst" about the other person.  It feels like a reaction, but it is actually a choice we make each time the gap is created.  Assuming the worst drives the other person away and can actually push them to do the very thing you are scared they are going to do.  Believing the best creates an upward spiral of trust and love that can become the bedrock for happy couples.  Nobody said it would be easy.  It will be hard, but it is one of the most important things that happy couples know.  To see the full message, click here.
