We had a great service last weekend! We did an “on stage” coaching session that lead to a question about our “button.” We all have one. A button is an emotion that is driven by fear. The button always leads us into arguments with our family, friends, or are spouse. I talked about how mine was the “fear of failure.” When that button is pushed I work harder and harder sometimes even forgetting who I am working for….My wife may tell me what I have done wrong or made a mistake, but all I hear is “I am a failure.” It is crucial to know what your button is AND your spouses so that you can help empathize and stop the cycle of arguments! You may very well be stepping on their button every time you get into a fight….
