Blindfolding My Husband and What Transpired

Matthew & Amy Weldon

This week we talk about a recent competition we had. Could Amy get Matt lost within 30 miles of our house? What if she blindfolded him, disoriented him, and dropped him off in the middle of nowhere, somewhere within a 30-mile radius? What if he only had 12 hours to get back home? We share what happened in the first part of this episode.

This led to our discussion about how we can encourage personal growth in our spouses by allowing them to step into areas of growth. What does it mean to have a spouse who wants to facilitate that? Sometimes we look at areas of growth and deep down inside it intimidates or scares us, which is a good sign. There is an excellent potential for significant growth if we’re willing to step into it… even if it seems overwhelming. If something costs time and money to improve, is the excuse “it’s selfish” just a cop-out because you know you’ll have to put actual hard work into changing? 

We talk about how important it is to develop a vision of where you want to be… even if that scares you a little bit, because you are capable of a whole lot more than you think you are.  Ask yourself: what is possible? The more you get out and do things that seem scary, the less things seem scary.
