33 Tips to Be a Better Wife

I have come to know that my role as a wife is very significant and that it should not be taken lightly. I also know that I will be held accountable for the way I choose to walk out my role as a Christian wife. I want my life--my whole life to not only represent my King well, I also want to hear my beloved King say; "Well done..." at the end of my days...I hope these tips encourage you to make your husband a priority, rebuild any love loss, heal hurts and put us all on the path to a better marriage! 33 Wife Tips 1. Have Sex. I am going to get this out of the way up front. Your man needs sex. Give it to him. It is not only about our needs as women, it is vital for them. Never ever -- ever use sex as a tool or weapon. Sex is a beautiful gift for marriage and we should never mistreat anything God gives us! If you have issues with sex, seek God, seek professional help, or speak to a trusted Biblically sound friend/mentor. The bottom line: sex is far too important in your marriage to ignore. I encourage you to actively pursue a healthy and consistent sex life with your husband. It will help ward of sexual sin and relieve his stress...it will also help you both live longer! LOL!2. Play More. Men like to play with their wives. Make efforts to do things your husband enjoys. Deep down, they want us with them as a playmate. If your husband has a hobby, learn to do it with him and have fun. Or, learn something together and do it regularly. Play cards or games together. The … [Read more...]

Men Feel Too…

The other day, we took a trip to the local Target as a family. It is a great way for us to spend time as a family while getting errands done.On this particular trip, we were looking for some sort of pad or rug to place on some shelves we put up last week. The shelves are for one of our cats to get up and down from the top of our entertainment center. They are a bit slippery and we thought a rug type item would help. Anyway, the discussion of how to get the material to stick to the "step" came up. We were looking at several options when an older gentleman came down the aisle we were on...My husband immediately started asking him his opinion.This embarrasses me.I was already getting irritated about how long this supposedly simple thing was taking us to figure out...I was in no mood for my husband's fixation on older men! I mean if there is an older man at a party, he will be sitting and chatting with him. If a friend's dad is in town or comes to church, my husband is right there chatting with him. If there is an old man around when we are trying to figure out what to get for a particular project (no, this was not the first time a strange old man was brought into a discussion), my husband will gravitate towards him...It annoys me.It also vexed me. I mean I would always wonder why??I was about to get my answer and feel like a complete doof for yet again being a spoiled brat...After the man gave his insight and went on about his day, I looked at my … [Read more...]

Cluck…Cluck…Cluck

That is the sound of the mother hen in me when I hear my husband being to harsh, teasing or being what I perceive to be unfair to my beloved daughters. He is an awesome father, mind you, however, he can be a bit short and sometimes he causes my feathers to ruffle...For example, I'll be in the kitchen cooking dinner and I'll hear him and my youngest getting hostile over a game. I can hear him trying to explain something to our heard-headed daughter in a not as patient as he could be way.My feathers rustle... Cluck...Cluck...Cluck Normally, I would come rushing in and defend my beloved offspring. After all, I was designed to protect my young! I must be "right" to do this. I am a Mother for crying out loud!Unfortunately, running into the room to "defend" my baby in front of her father is not a good thing for my marriage. It makes my husband feel dishonored and emasculated. NOT good. And, let me tell you, I am a tigress when it comes to my sweet girls.Inevitably, we wind up in a fight and I have completely stepped out of my helper role and into a mother role towards my husband...all in front of my daughters. NOT good.I should be training them to be honoring wives who HELP their husbands--not hinder them. They should see me in my proper role and living out reverence before them. Sadly, I fail far more than I succeed in this area.I am quite stubborn and hard headed...The good news is, I am gaining a grip on this area and had quite a successful … [Read more...]
