HOT TOPIC TUESDAY: Different religions in Marriage

Share




After having a great Easter with my family filled with Easter Egg Hunts, Church, Prayer and FOOD, I begin to think about other people that may not have as smooth as a Resurrection day as I had.








How do you handle holidays in a marriage, when you practice two different religions?

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: Be True to yourself

Share



Marriage is wonderful, the partnership, the thought of always having someone there for you, someone to love, and talk to. All of that is great! However, I feel to have a positive marriage you not only have to be true to your spouse, but also to yourself.


Be True To Yourself.
Be true to yourself, your family and friends.
Be true to yourself always and don't ever pretend.
Be true to yourself and watch your blessings unfold.
Don't polute your mind, your body or your soul.
Be true to yourself and not what others feel you ought to be.
Be true to your mind, body and soul, and be what God intended you to be.

HOT TOPIC TUESDAY: What is your love language?

Share



So, after having a spicy weekend with the ladies, and bringing it home to our hubbies, a lot of our favorite love languages may be physical touch. Read over the languages, and tell us what is your language?


The 5 Love Languages®
What if you could say or do just the right thing guaranteed to make that special someone feel loved? The secret is learning the right love language! Millions of couples have learned the simple way to express their feelings and bring joy back into marriage.

Words of Affirmation
Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important—hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten.



Quality Time
In the vernacular of Quality Time, nothing says, “I love you,” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes your significant other feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful.



Receiving Gifts
Don’t mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. If you speak this language, the perfect gift or gesture shows that you are known, you are cared for, and you are prized above whatever was sacrificed to bring the gift to you. A missed birthday, anniversary, or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous—so would the absence of everyday gestures.



Acts of Service
Can vacuuming the floors really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an “Acts of Service” person will speak volumes. The words he or she most want to hear: “Let me do that for you.” Laziness, broken commitments, and making more work for them tell speakers of this language their feelings don’t matter.



Physical Touch
This language isn’t all about the bedroom. A person whose primary language is Physical Touch is, not surprisingly, very touchy. Hugs, pats on the back, holding hands, and thoughtful touches on the arm, shoulder, or face—they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care, and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive.

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: Be your own hero!

Share


I found this and wanted to share it with you all. This weekend some of our RWOC Sistas helped in the Glass Slipper Project, with doing projects like this it not only is a great opportunity for ladies, to look wonderful on there special days, but its very rewarding in itself to give back, also in a wife it gives something back to you. It shows you that YOU just put a smile on someones face. YOU just altered someones life positively. Sometimes we like to look to other people to validate ourselves, like friends, relatives, husbands, but we who we really need to look at is OURSELVES.


Let today be the day that you choose to become your own greatest Hero.


To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform. - Theodore H. White


Who do we most respect and admire? Why our Heroes of course. What are the characteristics of a Hero? Heroes are courageous and self-reliant, and they are greatly admired. Being courageous and self-reliant are the characteristics that create heroes. Being admired is something that comes afterward. Name a genuine Hero who followed the crowd? It's a crazy question, because Heroes don't follow the crowd. A hero may or may not lead other people, but all heroes lead themselves. Heroes are self confident independent thinkers who make courageous choices.


Let today be the day that you choose to become your own greatest Hero.


courage doesn't always roar. sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day, saying, "i will try again tomorrow." - mary anne radmacher

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: Change your attitude

Share

Attitude is Everything. - Charles Swindoll Attitude truly is EVERYTHING. All life is a magnificent blessing. Each of us has been blessed in our own way. While one point of view is that some have been "more" blessed than others, I would be inclined to reply with the old saying, "Comparisons are odious." Why suffer over what you don't have when you can rejoice in what you do have.
