Guard your hearts and minds

Am pulling this phrase from St. Paul (Phil 4: 7) completely out of context; I hope God won't be too angry about it.

A young FB friend of mine (oops, I just used that abbreviation without written permission; I suppose that's technically a violation of FB's terms) has liked a couple posts by someone who goes by this handle:
Once you start to dislike someone. Everything they do begins to annoy you.

This is a truth that illustrates why it is so important for a husband and wife to guard their heart and especially their thoughts with regard to each other.  It isn't that this tendency can't be overcome, but it develops a very powerful inertia that it takes a lot of work to counteract.
