HOT TOPIC TUESDAY: Do your single friends/family support you marriage?

Share

With the divorce rates so high, and so many people not understanding what the concept of marriage is, not knowing what it feels like, the commitment and the glory of it, they tend to not be positive supporters.  Although marriage can be blissful, it is hard! 

I myself have had occasions when family members and friends don't offer good advice, such as "leave him", or "Girl, you better change him!"  However, it does not work like that.

How do you handle the non-supporters in your life?

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: Know your power!

Share

With all your faith, and wisdom, its easy to get lost, but with prayer its easy to find your way.  As a wife your prayer for your husband, and your marriage has a greater affect.  He leaves his Mother and becomes one with his wife.  They are a team, one unit, linked and unified in spirit.  Now that power!  Know your power ladies!

HOT TOPIC TUESDAY: How do you Know If You're Compatible?

Share

How well did you really know your Spouse before you got married? Relationships mature and changes happen, do you feel that you are compatible now? There are a lot of questions that should be asked at the beginning of a relationship, that aren't always asked, like:

•What are your religious views?

•What are your political opinions?

•Do you want children?

•Do you believe in marriage, and understand the meaning?

•Do you know how to handle money, and so on?

If you feel that you and your Spouse are a work in progress, how do you work out the differences?

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY:Improvements not set-backs

Share

Marriage is a wonderful blessing, but sometimes its hard to see things that way.  In life there are always lessons to be learned.  Sometimes we fly through those lessons, and sometimes we crawl through them, but we must remember;

God sees things we don't.  He knows when we have room for improvement.

HOT TOPIC TUESDAY: NAGGING!

Share

We've all heard it!  Men don't like nagging women!  "Why you nagging me!" So on, and so on.  I'm guilty of it I admit, but there comes a time in every woman's life when we're tired, it usually starts the silent treatment, more arguing, etc., but I just wanted to share with you all that, NAGGING DOES NOT WORK!  :-)  Criticizing doesn't work, plain talking doesn't always work.  The only thing that works is praying with Gods peace in your heart.

Better to to dwell in the wilderness than with a contentious and angry woman. Proverbs 21:19

Open rebuke is better than love carefully concealed. Proverbs 27:5

There is ... a time for every purpose under heaven...a time to keep silence and a time to speak.  Ecclesiastes 3:1,7

Whats your strategy for getting your spouse to do certain things? Are you a nagger?

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: Pray for your Husbands

Share

Reading, I came across a statement that I totally related to.  It said, "  Unfortunately I didn't really pray for my husband until I started praying for my children."  I related because this is exactly what I do!  My son is my son.  He's 3 years old, and he'll be going off to school this fall and I'm like, "this cannot be happening!  This is my baby!  He doesn't know enough!  How will he protect his self if someone bothers him?  How will he clean himself if he poops?  He's not fully potty trained yet!  I can go on and on with all the worries, but all I can do is pray for him.  Its so easy to pray for him when he drops his cup of juice on the floor that I just mopped.  Its easy to pray for him when he empties all of the baby wipes out of the container that I just filled and stuffs them all into his dirty clothes hamper, but when my husband drops food all over the stove that I just scrubbed clean, or forgets to take out the garbage I admit its not so easy to pray for him. 

Praying for your husband is not the same as praying for your child, simply because as Parents we have authority over our children.  We don't have authority over our husbands.  We do have authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19), and we can do damage to the enemy when we pray.  The enemy can be an addiction, your job, your relatives, or friends, an attitude or even a hobby.  You have to pray on it, and tell that enemy that you will not allow anything to destroy your marriage, you will not tolerate it, or stand for it!  Pray for you to release it, and pray for him to release it!
