Frankly, I have a much easier time seeing God's presence in my wife than I do in myself. I totally agree with you that if we could somehow practice what many of us preach and treat *everyone* like a child of God, the world would be...well...heavenly. Of course, with all of the brokenness in the world, this is very tough. But we can at least start with our spouse! :) Amen, my friend.

Like what you describe, but not so sisterly. When he's praised, I'm proud. When he's treated well, I'm pleased. When he's slighted, I'm touchy. I'm protective of him and revel in his successes and am pained by his struggles. <br><br>The best part is that I recognize his divinity. The spark of the Creator that stamps him as equal and worthy and beloved. There's a level of compassion I try to give everyone, but I invest heavily in Gary. If I want him to be the divine being I know he was born to be, I should treat him that way. I admit to having a certain maternal pride toward my husband. Like what you describe, but not so sisterly.
