“Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.” But not in marriage.
As a sports lover, I can most certainly understand how Coach Sanders, a UCLA football coach, would want to encourage his players to win.

However in relationships, especially marriage, winning isn’t everything.
It’s more about sharing and compromising. Loving when it’s easy; and more importantly, loving when you don’t want to.
Now this idea of winning, always being right, is something that comes easy for all of us. Call it human nature.
Who doesn’t want to win? Who doesn’t want to be right?
I know I do.
Just yesterday, I heard myself saying multiple times throughout the day (like it was my theme of the day) — Why do you always have to be right?
How do you think that opened up the conversation?
It did not! In fact, those comments only puts your spouse on the defensive. And anyone on defense is going to come back fighting.
Plus, as the end of the day draws to a close, it only gets worse. Frustration builds. Patience lessens.
Winning isn’t everything, loving is!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Do everything in love!
“Do everything in love.” ~ 1 Corinthians 16:14
- Love … when it’s hard.
- Love … when it’s easy.
- Love … always!
Ask yourself this question:
How can I show love in the moment?
Love is action. Love is a verb. Love is a powerful word, but only carries power when your actions show it.
When you ask yourself this question it will deflate your frustration, anger, anxiety, fear, and nerves.
Do everything in love!
“Winning isn’t everything, loving is. Do everything in love!”
