Grace is getting ready to go to a friends birthday sleepover on Friday night. Grace has already picked out the "perfect" gift for her friend but is also making some hand made "SHUT-UP!" Slips.
I asked Grace, "What are SHUT-UP! Slips?" She went on to explain that there are times with Jr. high girls when all you want to say to your friend is SHUT-UP! Because they are annoying or upsetting or heck just being girls.
Being a man, this idea intrigued me...what if there were marriage "SHUT-UP!" Slips? You know when your wife blathers on about every detail of her day...or...when your husband endlessly whines about not getting sex. Wouldn't it just be easier to hand your spouse a "SHUT-UP!" slip?
Easier? Not really. For Jr. high girls still struggling with self control and social skills it's just a funny joke to hand a friend a "SHUT-UP!" Slip.
But for best friends in love, the commitment to listen to each other even when we'd rather say "SHUT_UP!" is one of the foundation stones marriage is built upon.
Communicate with your spouse in appropriate and loving ways and watch your marriage GROW!
