BOX

A COUPLE MARRIED for 15 years began having more than usual disagreements…

They wanted to make their marriage work and agreed on an idea the wife had. For one month they planned to drop a slip in a “Fault” box. The boxes would provide a place to let the other know about daily irritations. The wife was diligent in her efforts and approach: “leaving the jelly top off of the jar,” “wet towels on the shower floor,” “dirty socks not in hamper,” on and on until the end of the month. After dinner, at the end of the month, they exchanged boxes. The husband reflected on what he had done wrong. Then the wife opened her box and began reading. They were all the same, the message on each slip was, “I love you!”

4 “Love suffers long and is kind;

love does not envy;

love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

5 does not behave rudely,

does not seek its own,

is not provoked,

thinks no evil;

6 does not rejoice in iniquity,

but rejoices in the truth;

7 bears all things,

believes all things,

hopes all things,

endures all things.”

I Corinthians 13:4-7
