Dare: Recognize that your spouse is integral to your future success. Let them know today that you desire to include them in your upcoming decisions, and that you need their perspective and counsel. If you have ignored their input in the past, admit your oversight and ask them to forgive you.

What are some upcoming decisions you can make together? What did you learn today about the role of your mate? I told my wife that I greatly value the differences between the two of us. I told her that I am very appreciative of the fact that she adds a necessary balance to our relationship. She has been right on the money in many decisions that we have made together. I am so glad that I have her insight because she sees the intangible things about people and situations that are hard to pin down. Women in general are gifted in this way, and I am very thankful to God for that. I pray that she never feels that her opinion or input is disregarded. I would be doing both of us a great disservice to let that happen.
