On Wednesdays I post a practical wisdom thought or suggestion on Marriage, Parenting, or Life. My definition of an “intelligent” individual is someone who attempts to understand an opposing opinion without being disrespectful. Definitely, a healthy, “intelligent” individual believes “disagreeing is fine, but disrespecting is NEVER okay.”

Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as yourself” and that is truly best demonstrated when we respect a differing perspective without being antagonistic. Hence, we are always free to disagree but never free to disrespect others.

One common denominator for all satisfying, happy relationships is MUTUAL RESPECT. Gratifying marriages almost always have two “intelligent” spouses!

TODAY: Be “Intelligent” by always being respectful and kindly seeking to understand anyone who may disagree with your values or has an alternate viewpoint.
