Five Years One Thing #2

In the second week of our "Five Years One Thing" series, Pastor Bob Westfall and his wife Leesa were our guests. They shared their answer to the question, "What's the one thing you wish you had known before your fifth anniversary?" Because of their great wisdom, they actually had more than one thing to share. Their Top 10 list (they actually counted down from ten, so just flip the numbers if you want):

1. Never go to bed angry.
2. Go to bed at the same time.
3. Remember that feelings follow actions.
4. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to tell each other what pleases you.
5. Know each other's love languages.
6. Timing is everything. Learn how to have a fair fight.
7. Agree on a budget.
8. Pray together every day.
9. Don't assume you know what your spouse is thinking, or that they know what you're thinking.
10. Don't take each other or your marriage for granted.

Bob and Leesa also emphasized that Christ is an essential part of a good marriage.

There was also a lot of good information shared during the Q&A (which I didn't take notes on). There was also laughter, and at least one Flying Weenie reference.

So, Bob and Leesa, thanks for spending some time with us. You're welcome back any time!
