I love being married, and I want that for all of you! I want to share with you three things that every marriage needs to be successful.
One is…Everyone needs someone that is cheering them on in life, that celebrates success, that encourages them when they feel defeated, that says, “Yes you can, I believe in you!!” That has your back.
Listen now for more tools on how to have your best marriage!
Just like you, I’ll never forget September 11, 2001. It changed all our lives. Soon after, it dramatically changed our lives because Marshall started deploying to combat; he went to war.
Before deployment, I would spend time daily on my knees in prayer. Not now; I was afraid I would lose control of my emotions... oh no, I was trying to get control, not lose it. I stopped reading my Bible. I had to get my life back under control before I would allow God back into my box where I wanted Him. Crazy, I know!
This went on for a few months, and then it happened…I finally broke! In front of a group of women. Fortunately it was a group of women who loved me. They reminded me of two things.
3 Things you Should NEVER do if You’re Married!
First, you should never, and I mean never, be disrespectful. Now, disagreeing isn’t disrespectful. You will never agree 100% with your husband. In fact, you’re crazy if you think you will. It’s all about how you disagree that’s important.
The second thing you’ve probably heard before but need to be reminded.
The third thing...I’ll bet you’ve never given it any thought BUT it’s important!! And I think most of us mess this one up!
Welcome to the 1st of my 4-part series on “Let Your Light Shine - Obedience!” God expects His women to be obedient but obedience can be hard! In this series you’ll hear why we struggle with obedience and strategies for success with obedience.
We’ll start with what causes us to struggle with obedience. I think other people’s expectations and busyness are two of the biggest things that keep us from obedience.
Today I want to talk about 2 things your husband needs and that you have the power to give him!!
First, he needs you to hang out with him. Be his playmate. Have some fun together!! If you think back to before you were married, back to when you were dating, what did you used to do together? You probably weren’t talking about the kids, you weren’t snapping at each other about who does what household chores, you weren’t feeling bogged down in responsibilities. You were most likely doing everything you could to spend time together.
Your husband still has that desire – he wants to spend time doing things that are fun to him with YOU!!! What did you use to do together? Go hiking, attend concerts, have coffee together… I would encourage you to intentionally work some of these things back into your schedule. Men really like to spend their down time with their wives!! When’s the last time you and your husband had FUN together? Can’t remember? Then it’s been too long.
I get that sometimes life can fall into a routine, a rut, and actually be kinda boring. But why not take a break and escape with your husband!!
