Each week I leave a short story or video blog here about where I saw love in action during the previous week.  Sometimes my story might have to do with my marriage.  Sometimes it won’t.  The point is that if we are looking for love throughout the week, we will have more faith in the power of the love we share with our spouse.

You are invited to leave a story in the comments section about how you saw love in action last week!  Or leave a link to your blog in the comments section (and be sure to link your readers over here so they can see more stories about love in action!).

this week i finally sat down

and talked with a friend i have been in conflict with.

she has not been having conflict with me.

just me with her.

she didn’t know.

she thought everything was just fine.

which makes it a good thing

that i decided to talk with her.

it could have gone badly.

very

very

very

badly.

but it went well.

i talked.

and she listened.

and then we switched.

it was beautiful.

sounds simple,

but for two girls who have a history of

solving their problems in ways that can end a relationship,

it was worth celebrating.

the reason we talked and listened

and listened and talked

is because

on that night

last week,

over a glass

(or two)

of table wine,

we chose to listen

over being right.

because we love each other.

and it worked.

Where did you see love in action this week?
