I recently read a story written by, Martha Arnell called "Fishing in Alaska" it was about her experience with her husband who is a major outdoorsy guy that loves to fish and hunt. Well  her husband got an opportunity to take a trip to Alaska which is like the Disneyland of outdoors and he wanted her to go with. This was definitely not her cup of tea but she wanted to support her husband in the things that he was passionate about and loved. The story goes on and explains a few things that happened on their trip but what I want to point out or talk about is the point of supporting out spouses or even those that we love in their activities and the things that are meaningful to them. When the person that we are with has likes or activities that are different from our own it doesn't mean that the relationship is doomed to faith it just means that we both need to support the other in their hobbies whether that means being a cheerleader or join in on the activity. By doing so you are showing that they are important to you and that you are willing to invest in that relationship by giving of your time even if it is not your first choice in what you would like to be doing. Love is an action word and giving of your time for another is definitely showing that! We all need to show our love, not just say those words!
