But what if the woman is the provider for the family, is this verse now void?

In your brightest days always pray. In your darkest hour always pray. When you are full of confidence, always pray. When uncertainty surrounds you, always pray. When you are feeling your best, always pray. When you are feeling your worst, always pray. When you are as bold as a lion, always pray. When fear grips your heart, always pray. Make prayer a part of your everyday life. No matter the situation, always pray.

BEHIND EVERY GREAT MAN IS A GREAT WOMAN

Share

One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn't too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the president's secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner. Following this conversation, President Obama asked Michelle why was he so interested in talking to you. She mentioned that, in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, "so if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant", to which Michelle responded, "no, if I had married him, he would now be President".

Lead by example. Be the bigger person in disputes and conflicts. Know how to hold your peace and when to walk away. On your job exhibit your best performance even when no one is looking. As a parent don't just tell your child to do better. Show him or her how to do better. As a spouse always try to give 100%. Whether you hold a leadership title or not, God has given you leadership abilities. You have to develop them and be faithful in what He has entrusted in your care. Take pride in who God made you and seek His approval not man's. Lead by example.

As we approach this season of fall, the air will become cooler and drier. The hardwood trees will begin to display a beautiful array of autumn colors, and leaves will begin falling to the ground. Daylight hours will gradually shorten. This change is a season which only last for a season(temporary). You may be experiencing a fall season in your marriage right now. Most marriage go through a dry season when it seems like you can't agree on anything and the daylight on your marriage may seem to be fading away and your nights are getting longer as though you cannot see your way through the trials. Every season brings about change. Just as God set the season of times for the benefit of life on earth. Remember, you must go through the winters of life before you can experience the spring of life. Whatever you are going through in your marriage, job, school, friendships etc. Hang in there! The best is yet to come.

Feeling Appreciated

Share

It is so easy to take each other for granted and get caught up in the pattern of not expressing your appreciation to your spouse. It doesn't take allot to show appreciation but its the little things as well as the big things that count. For example saying "thank you" to each other each and every time your spouse does something thoughtful for you. Making an effort to work on any habits that may bother your spouse so your partner knows that you are mindful of his/her feelings and last but not least saying the three words that allot of people forget to say "I love you". Feeling appreciated don't take much but without it, it can cause many issues.

This is a old school poem but it really add motivation to my day so I hope it will do the same for you.

Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will; When the road you're trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low, and the debts are high; And you want to smile, but you have to sigh; When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint of the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are; It may be near when it seems afar. So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.

THE SIMPLE THINGS

Share



As married couples, we all realize the hardships, struggles, and tremendous (this word may be an understatement) amount of work it takes to not only make a marriage work, but to have a successful happy one. Learning how to communicate, fight fair, compromise, and make decisions together is something that takes time to master and for both spouses seems to be on the job training. Its amazing when you stop to think about it all the planning that goes into a wedding, but the lack of planning put into a life time of marriage. I know personally I am guilty. Either way, learning how to be a wife, or learning how to be a husband is just that...it is learned.

When you factor in the daily issues we all face such as this wonderful thing called life, there are times our marriages are put on the back burner as we are focused on handling other situations. In other words, there are many issues that contribute to the challenges of married life. Marriage is a beautiful covenant, but it doesn't come without a fight.

So as I sit here this morning trying to think of something meaningful to write about how to make marriage better, I realize sometimes its the simple things we need to focus on. Marriage is complicated enough in itself and it is easy to look past the small things.

So "real wives" my question to you is simply this: Why do you love your husband? Despite the all the struggles and challenges, what is one positive thing you can say about your spouse? I know one of the reasons why I fell in love with my husband is because of his sense of humor and his dedication to whatever he does. He's a hard worker and never gives up; most days he's even my best friend ;)

Sometimes we just need a little reminder of why we married our spouse in the first place.
