Short Course on Relationships | Larry Winget | Redneck Wisdom
The other day Larry Winget posted this picture on his Facebook fan page outlining a simple and short course on relationships. I’d like to use this post to expand a bit on his image.
Hug More
Hugs are super powerful in letting people know how much you love them.
Listen More
As the saying goes, “God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason.” You can learn a lot about what’s going on with your spouse just by listening.
Smile More
Smiles are contagious! Seriously. If you smile at someone it’s nearly impossible for them not to smile back.
Touch More
Remember when you first started dating? You couldn’t keep your hands off each of other. That’s because we all aspire for someone’s touch. Don’t be afraid to grab your spouse’s hand.
Yell Less
Yelling causes the ears to close or will put the other person on the defensive. Try using a calmer approach.
Criticize Less
There really is no reason to criticize your spouse. If you don’t like the way they do something, let them know why you prefer it a different way. Chances are they are just doing the way they think you want it done of that they’ve been accustomed to do it.
Also, don’t get in the habit of criticizing people. Eventually, you’ll have them believing they aren’t worth much anymore.
Gripe Less
No body likes when people gripe. Try to stay positive and not gripe often. Over time it can really wear on others.
Judge Less
I’ll refer to Matthew 7:3 on this one “”Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?”

I just loved the adzhika on everything!. I was looking for things in the fridge to spread it on, or chips and nachos to dunk. It is spicy hot, but not unlfomortabcy hot, and the tomatoes give it a rich flavor. It is better than salsa. you have to try it!
