Weekend Marriage Tip: Bathe Your Partner in Pure Light

It's easy to get caught up in daily life.

There are always 27 hours of things to do in 24.

Especially if you have kids, jobs, in-laws, and other parts of life to deal with.

Most of us probably try to do too much.

But unless you make a conscious decision to slow down, you probably won't.

And during periods of life it's just fine.

What's not fine is if you get very stressed and forget what's important.

The most important part of life - outside of your relationship with God - is your marriage.

Have you spent 5 minutes today improving your relationship with your partner?

I don't mean pushing on them for changes you want.

You know my method in the Science of Happy Marriage is against that kind of coercion.

Yes, sometimes it's very difficult to coordinate your schedule with your partner's.

Maybe you don't even HAVE 5 minutes to spend together each day for deepening your marriage.

Maybe your partner isn't even "into" taking time out for that.

No matter, there's something you can do which is very powerful.

It might sound a little strange to you if you aren't used to such things.

But it can have a very powerful effect.

Here's what you do.

Just see your partner in your mind's eye.

Forget all about the daily life issues, "problems" or disagreements or anything else.

Just visualize him or her...

Then bathe him or her in pure light.

Just imagine light streaming down and through and all around your partner.

Do this for a couple minutes.

You don't need to keep doing that for very long.

It's not a marathon or an ordeal.

Just imagine that pure light streaming down on, through and around your partner.

Then notice how differently - at least for that moment - you feel and think about him or her.

It may even be a few seconds difference.

But if you do this, you WILL feel differently and think differently about your partner.

Now would you like that state of positive feeling and thinking to be in your marriage ALL the time, going both ways?

Toward your partner and toward you too?

Pure light, pure joy, pure pleasure, pure love?

Here's where to get started:
