SPERM accountability
We do a weekly check-in now about how we are doing in several areas of life. We had this long list of questions that was really cumbersome and tedious. Then my husband found an acrostic for accountability - an acrostic that only a guy would come up with - SPERM.
At first I said, no, I just can't even handle that level of.... I'm not even sure what to call it - immaturity, male weirdness, inappropriate... just no. But then, I decided to give it a try and actually it was way better than our crazy list of questions. So, here you go.
S- Spiritual: How are you doing in your relationship with God? How are you practicing spiritual disciplines? What is God saying to you?
P - Physical: How do you feel physically? Are you caring for your body? Are you eating well? Exercising enough? Getting enough sleep/rest?
E - Emotional: How do you feel emotionally? Are you controlling your emotions or are they controlling you?
R - Relational: How is our relationship right now? What about your relationships with others - family, friends, etc?
M - Mental: How is your thought life? How are you being tempted and what are you doing to resist temptation? Are you thinking on what is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report?
Our weekly check-ins really help us both to feel connected to and accountable with each other.
