“Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it; so he gave him Achsah his daughter as a wife. It came about that when she came to him, she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she alighted from the donkey, and Caleb said to her, ‘What do you want?’ Then she said, ‘Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land of the Negev, give me also springs of water.’ So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.”

When was the last time you just straight up went to your spouse and asked for a blessing? It seems like that might be a good thing to do now and then. It gives one spouse the opportunity to make the other spouse feel special. In spousal relationships it can be so easy to misinterpret what the other person is saying. Being direct can be a wonderful thing.
