I love this time of year for many, many reasons and hope you do to. I love the lights, the sounds, and the excitement that comes from anticipation. As I was driving downtown this morning I saw a big window display with the question, “Do you believe?” This time of year that is a great question to ask. Last year we had the Santa discussion with Beaudry and Braunson and it seemed to ruin Christmas. Somehow, I think they are back to trusting in the old St. Nick. Another question around beliefs, is whether or not we believe in the Christ child, Jesus.
Lately I have found myself asking another question around whether or not people believe that their marriage can be different. When you’ve lived with the same patterns for years and years, sometimes it can be difficult to truly believe things can and will be different. Yet, just like Christmas, there is a magic that takes place when we do believe. I hope each of us will always believe that our marriages can and will improve. Without this belief it is hard to make the effort and put in the work. Yet when we do, we will love where it takes us. This Christmas, I ask you…Do you believe? Merry Christmas!
