Some TLC for Your Marriage...

All week I've been following Proverbs 31 Ministries and they have been posting 7 days of marriage tips! I have loved them and couldn't wait to share them. I hope it blesses your marriage. Day 7: keep in mind that time affects all of us and no one remains the same as we were as we were dating. Life's circumstances can make us lose our sense of humor, change us physically, act less romantic ect...Take time to find these two people who fell in love and reconnect. (Trust! They are in there) Day 6: love bears all things, believes in all things, endures all things ( 1 cor. 13) Choose to believe the best in your spouse, even when they aren't communicating well. Sometimes it is hard to find the right words to express yourself. Some folks find it hard to communicate with words at all. Grace, Grace. Day 5: be intentional. Every day, look for a way to bless your spouse either secretly or openly. A thankful heart, a giving heart, will repulse the weeds of blame and discontent. Day 4: greet your spouse with a kiss. It's a mood enhancer. Science says touch releases endorphins, so you begin to associate seeing your spouse with a pleasant feeling. And you can't say anything you'll regret when your lips are otherwise occupied. Voila! Mood enhanced! Day 3: make it a point to give your spouse the best of you:the bet of your smiles, best of your touch, best f your words... Don't always bring them what's left of you after the world as drained you! Day 2: nobody is perfect. Don't let the world at large find out about your spouse's imperfections via your mouth. "the heart of her husband trusts her..." ( proverbs 31:11) Day 1: be the person you'd like to be married to. If you'd like a little more grace for your faults, give a little more grace for theirs.... If you need more love and understanding, give more love and understanding to your spouse. I'm amazed at how reading these can change your marriage... 7 little tips:)
