Together

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

One way to build your marriage is to develop common interests.  It gives you something to do together, talk and dream about, etc.  Those interests can be small, like what you read or watch on TV, or larger like involvement in a ministry or building your own business.   Take a bit of time and list the things that you and your husband enjoy doing or talking about.  Are those things working for you?  Do you need to add to the list?

Love endures only when the lovers love many things together and not merely each other. Walter Lippmann

Kiss your husband in 10 different places.  Have fun with this.  :-)

Is not a kiss the very autograph of love? Henry Finck

In the Quiet

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

Take some time to pray for your husband's study and prayer time (if your husband is an unbeliever, pray over whatever he does during "quiet time" whether it is reading, gardening or just day dreaming).  It is during those quiet times that the Lord can snag their hearts and minds and effect real change and growth.

In the secret, in the quiet place, in the stillness ... You are there. Andy Park (lyrics from In The Secret)

Just a Peek

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

Semi-nudity can be as alluring as nudity, sometimes even more so. Try spending a couple of hours without a top or just wearing your husband's shirt, unbuttoned. Sooner or later it will have the desired effect on your husband.

... let me see your form ... Song of Songs 2:14b NAS

Study Buddy

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Is there something that you are curious about or some study or class that you would like to take?  Invite your husband to learn with you.  If he doesn't have the time or desire to do so, be sure to share bits and snippets of your study info to keep him in the loop.

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. Chinese Proverb

I Want to Hold Your Hand

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

I had some dental work done today.  It wasn't really that serious, but for some reason it really unnerved me, so I asked my husband to go and sit with me during the appointment.  He didn't act impatient.  He didn't make fun of me or treat me like I was being silly.  He just loved me and took my need at face value.  I felt truly blessed (and the ladies at the office thought he was funny and sweet, he has a lovely sense of humor and told them he was there to keep me from biting folks, I kid you not).

So as a tip idea ... take a similar attitude toward your husband.  Not the biting part,   ;-)    the part about respecting your spouse and treating them and their needs with kindness and understanding.  A need is a need is a need.  Judging the value of your spouse's need is judging your spouse in a way.  How kind it is to value them by valuing their needs (however silly the need may seem to you at the moment).

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. Philo

Bedroom Check

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Time for another bedroom check.  How romantic and lovely is your bedroom?  Are there piles of laundry laying around?  Not very romantic.  Fold them and put them away.  Piles of papers?  Sort and file them.  Straighten up, put on fresh sheets and set out a candle or two.  Make your bedroom that special room for just the two of you, where you can talk and share and love.

... our bed is verdant.  The beams of our house are cedar; our rafters are firs. Son of Songs 1:16-17  NIV

Color Him Handsome

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Figure out what colors look better on your husband and then when you go shopping for him buy clothes in those colors that are more flattering.  You can take hints from his existing clothes (you know that sweater that always looks so nice on him) to books or sites about color.

Behold, you are handsome, my beloved!  Yes, pleasant! Song of Songs 1:16  NKJV
