This message really isn't about if you can count on your spouse. I altered the subject to ensure you'd open it. 😇

What I really want to know is if your spouse can count on you?

I mean, really, can you be counted on when it's convenient and inconvenient?

If you're like me, and you're typically punctual and follow-through, you're thinking, "No sweat, my spouse can count on me."

But, let's go a bit deeper.

• Can your spouse count on you to be available emotionally?

• Can your spouse count on you to be honest?

• Can your spouse count on you to talk / be quiet when it's appropriate?

• Can your spouse count on you to pray with him/her?

• Can your spouse count on you to spend money wisely?

• Can your spouse count on you to assist with the children?

• Can your spouse count on you to be faithful?

• Can your spouse count on you to ____?

I could keep going on and on, but I think you get my drift.

Whatever it is that you have committed to your spouse to do, can he/she count on you?

If not, as far as your spouse is concerned, it's like chewing with a bad tooth or walking on a hurt foot: troublesome.

Be "count-onnable" to make your marriage work.

ps - there may be something that you said you have not said you won't do that your spouse is counting on you to do. Ask him/her if that's the case in any area.
