Mother Maxim - Tip

Her husband has full confidence in [his wife] and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. ~ Jewish Proverb (31:11-12)

Someone has said, man does not live by bread alone, but he needs buttering every now and then.

Try this out for 30 days. I dare you. :

You can't say anything negative about your husband . . . to your husband . . . or to anyone else about your husband. For 30 days.

Say something that you admire or appreciate about your husband . . . to your husband . . . and to someone else about your husband! For 30 days.

Have you ever thanked him for choosing you over other women? Let him know that he can trust you to be in his corner.

What kind of `wake up' call do you give your man each morning?

How well do you `hold your tongue'?

Loyalty. Encouragement. Building him up as head of your family. Valuing what he does.

Other `nice' ideas to try out when with your husband : edify, recognise, affirm, appreciate, attract, gentleness, intimacy, beloved, gracious, love, please, develop, observe, solitude or solace, play, positive, cheer, support, atmosphere, honest, special, trust, respect, honour, commit.

Mother's Heart

Every home needs the sunshine that only a committed woman can bring to it. Wives and mothers, will you be the sunshine of your home?

It is still okay to love, respect, and obey your husband. And to pray for him.

Love Dare -  from the film "Fireproof" – is a great way to `work' on your marriage (probably not too early nor too late to do this) : check out the 40 `dares' online.  I have 3pp of the 40 dares you can ask for.
