Karen Kain – one of the most respected ballet dancers in the world – once said, “Sometimes a dancer’s worst enemy is themselves. They get in their own way.”
The art of dance is the art of movement. It’s about gracefully moving in concert with the music and with your partner. Every step forward is a risk. Your partner could step on your toes. Or you could step on theirs. The solution is not to focus on your partner’s steps but on your own.
That advice is great for dancers and for married couples. In its own way, marriage is the art of movement. Relationships are fluid. They change over time because couples change over time.
On Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, I’m talking with Dave and Ann Wilson, a couple who have stepped on each other’s toes plenty of times but in Christ have learned to find new rhythm with each other.
