 …love covers a multitude of sins. ~ Peter 4:8b ESV

I have recently realised this verse can be applied a few other ways in marriage. When Lori or I are feeling short or upset, the love of the other helps to cover for that. 

For example: In the past, when I made a phone call to deal with insurance or some tech issue, Lori often said “Be nice”. It was a fair comment, as I could get pretty aggressive. And if I was already upset, I might do that out of the gate. Which isn’t kind to the other person, and is actually counterproductive. So she didn’t just cover sin, she helped prevent it.

I’ve gotten a lot better about this, which is in large part due to her gentle nudging. Another way her love covers my sin.

~ Paul – I’m XY, and I do the same for her, just less often.
