![]() Mabel and I love to have regular devotional times together. We have scheduled time(s)/day(s) where we purposely set aside time to talk, read, discuss the devotional, and pray together. It is truly one of the greatest things we do. It is one of our anchors we have in our relationship that will always be a part of US. We truly love that time together and treasure it. Recently we started a new devotional plan together called, “Building a Better US”. It focuses on having a balanced life, a purposeful relationship, communication, and navigating technology in a relationship, to name a few. These topics allow us to talk individually and share our sincere concerns, hopes, goals, and desires for our relationship, as well as key factors to being successful together. Our item for today addressed technology, boundaries, and it's usage; when, where, how and why. Our philosophy is pretty much the same....no secrets, strong communication, transparency, and openness together, no matter how difficult to share. Our devotion addressed boundaries with technology, and more specifically, ensuring no secrecy between each other with technology. We both believe we should have full access to anything we have individually regarding technology, complete openness and transparency with our texts, messages, pictures, etc. In other words, full accountability with our devices, computers, and such. One scripture we both treasure is a key verse to building great relationships; “Beware the little foxes that can spoil the vineyard,” Song of Solomon 2:15. It is compared to what we all presently know in our shopping habits and homes – security systems. The owners knowing or seeing what is happening real time. Security allows people to protect the things they love – their homes, for example, from thieves, intruders, or anyone potentially seeking to harm them. Having a “security system” allows the owners to safeguard their investments. It is the same way for us. We want to protect US, safeguard US, continue to build US, and make our relationship a safe haven and safe place for each other. We want to defend our US from any “little” things that can cause cracks in the wall where distrust, dishonesty, or anything that may cause hurt or ruin to the relationship we both want, desire, strive for, and hope to continue until our last breath.
