Momentos Matrimoniales yo soy muy ordenado, y mi esposa al revés. Me curé de la

molestia que sentía imaginándola muerta y preguntándome:

‘Si pudieras resucitarla, desordenada y todo, ¿lo harías? ’Si,

desde luego!’ De esta manera me cure. Ahora cuando el

desorden me molesta, repito la misma escena.” (Sam Brad-

ley). Es una técnica que puede funcionar ante muchos tipos

de molestia.

Pautas Para Padres Tú eres mi Hijo amado; en ti tengo complacencia”. (Lucas

3:22) Palabras como estas son tan gratas para un niño. Bus-

ca una manera sincera de decirle esto a tu propio hijo hoy.
