Marriage Relations, Part II - The Application

Well! How did we all do with the test? Did you get the right number of passes? Did you see the kid in the gorilla suit?

Jeff passed this on to me after he took the 'test' and did NOT see the gorilla. I, however, did see the monkey.

Does this make me superior in our marriage relationship? YES No. What it does mean is the following:

1. If Jeff is relaxing, watching t.v. and the kids are running around wild and half naked -- I now believe him when he says he didn't notice.

2. When I ask Jeff to do the dishes and he does them while stepping over a piece of garbage on the floor -- I now realize that he can only tune into one task at a time and doesn't see the garbage.

3. If you are the type of person who see's gorillas and are married to someone who doesn't, you can probably expect a few arguments.

Come on, tell me if you saw the gorilla? Did your spouse?

Marriage Relations, Part I - The Test

I am not putting myself out there as a leader in marriage relationships. But Jeff and I have accepted a fundamental part of who we are. It helps us define our relationship.

I want to share this concept with you in a two-part blog. This first part is the test. Please take the test (include your spouse if at all possible) and we'll discuss more tomorrow. Have Fun!
