Friday, January 27, 2017 Lake Oconee News Page B9 For Heaven's Sake Mike Morgan, Pastor • First United Methodist Church of Greensboro O GOD! TUB WATERS HAVE COME UP TO MY NECK.. I SINK IN THE MIRY PEPTHS, WHERE THERE IS NO FOOTHOLD/ IT'S SooD To KNOW PSALM 69 WHEN THE SEWER L/NE BACKS UP Scorekeeping can ruin a relationship! Are you a “scorekeeper” in your relationship? What do I mean by that? A “scorekeeper” keeps count of what each person does on behalf of the relation ship. Sometimes on a day to day basis. This person wants to be sure, without a doubt, that his/her partner is doing his or her part. This person’s tally always makes sure the partner comes up a little short. This mind set and behavior can be both exhausting and frustrating to both individuals. There certainly is a place for responsibility, sharing and accountability with regard to the various needs and demands of the part nership. Hopefully, over the course of the relation ship each person recognizes what needs to be done and steps up and does what is necessary. Sometimes, or perhaps often, one person does not understand or appreciate what the other does on behalf of the couple’s well being. Most of the time this misunderstanding person is the husband, who sur prisingly enough is usually the “scorekeeper.” Many a time I have heard husbands castigate their stay-at-home Dr. John Stathas Columnist wives for not doing enough. Have you ever heard the song “Mr. Mom” by Lone- star? It is about a man who has lost his job. His wife gets a job and he will stay home with the kids and “watch TV and take long naps; go from hard work ing dad to being Mr. Mom. After being Mr. Mom for a very short time he concludes that he “thought there was nothing to it. Baby, now I know how you feel. What I don’t know is how you do it. Honey, you’re my hero!” Relationships go through many manifestations over the course of time. Job demands, children’s needs, meals, home upkeep, etc. all call for attention from someone. Who answers the call and to the extent that the needs are met invite judgment. Be careful. Usu ally, not always, each per son is doing the best that s/he can. If you honestly feel that the other person is not doing his/her share, bring it up in an assertive, but non judgmental, man ner. Encouragement, grati tude, and compliments are the best response. Focus on what is being done, not what is missing. With such a complimentary and sup portive couple environment, each person will probably do even more to ensure that s/he is contributing to the overall needs of the family. During the course of a committed relationship, one person may in fact be doing more than the other. During another stage of the relationship the other person may be doing more. Don’t keep score, be grateful that you have a partner that is there for you and the fam ily and will rise to the occa sion based on the presenting needs of the time.
