That is so good Justin. I know that many times I've mistakenly thought my marriage was at a better place than it was simply because of the absence of conflict. This is such a foundational truth that every married couple needs to hear.

[...] August 27, 2009 by sarahbeyer I totally feel like I’m cheating since I’m about to give you the second link to follow in one week. HOWEVER, I am close to 100% certain that if you believe me and you follow this link you will be blessed by what you read. I can’t even remember anymore whose link I followed to find this blog the first time, but I continue to be encouraged by this couple’s thoughts on marriage. Justin and Trisha Davis nearly lost their marriage, but God restored it and they now regularly write about how and why. They also have some fantastic thoughts on following Christ in an authentic way. Don’t wait to read this…cause just as the name implies, it WILL refine you. Refine Us. [...]

Thank you so much – you will be in my prayers as well. Yes, it is amazing how we can come from different angles/paths yet arrive at the same place when God is involved. It is comforting to know that He is always with us ready to guide us if we let Him. Thank you again for your kind words and thoughts. Peace and grace be with you!

Wow! I feel like I'm making some progress in my relationships with both God and my bride, but this is soooo true of me, especially as a "people pleaser." Thanks for sharing this great insight. Counterfeit was a great word to describe this!
