This just in from one of our Cup Of TimersThank you Cup Of Time!!!
My husband and I got into an ongoing argument. I let my fleshly mind get to me as I stormed off into the room to avoid him and the conversation. As I sat there on the bed with my mind running with all these negative thoughts I heard a still small voice say "Cup Of Time"... it then became an "AHA!" moment! I went out into the living room knowing I have seen the Husband-Wife Cup Of Time Set sitting on the bookshelf. I then picked both of them up and slammed the husband one down right in front of my husband. (you could say I was still upset lol) My husband then did a little chuckle and said "Not sure if I want to do this now". Of course I knew he was joking because he could sense the urgency that his wife needed to talk. My husband requested mountain dew and I had pepsi max in my cup. As we sat on the couch in silence for the first couple minutes it seemed so hard to talk about the same argument we have had multiple times. I than began to speak; my husband has NEVER been good at communicating.. EVER.. when it comes to talking about what is on his mind or his "feelings" it is a complete shut out. So after I started I asked him questions to help me understand what he was feeling, after a couple of tries my husband then spoke. It was such a moving forward point for us that it truly brought me to tears. He had felt things that I would have never known, also that I never intended for him to feel. Once everything was out on the table we both felt like a ton of bricks was then lifted off our shoulders! It was then during that moment I realized how vital Cup Of Time is. If the set was never put on the bookshelf like suggested, I would have never remembered we had it. If we never took the time to sit, talk and listen we would have never had our moving forward point... Thank you Cup Of Time for reminding me on the importance of spending time talking and LISTENING to my husband. We have been a whole different couple since our last Cup Of Time.
