I want to share this also my busy mom's :-)
Alrightey then ... now I know, I know, I know that love is about more than *ahem* physical intimacy. (this is a g-rated page!) Yes, it's about holding hands, dreaming together, having a sense of purpose and a deep, abiding friendship.
But it's also about intimacy. It's so much more important than we often realize, and yet it often is the first thing to go when life is stressful and days are long.
Do you remember WHY you got married? Chances are good that part of the reason was that you couldn't keep your hands off each other :) Remember? My husband and I often talk about a "list" that we made when deciding the pros and cons of getting married at the tender ages of 19 and 21. And you'll never guess what was at the TOP of the list. :)
Yep. And it needs to stay at the top. Physical intimacy is about much more than a simple act. It's a drawing together of souls—it's a precious reminder of the commitment that you made to love and care for each other.
In Corinthians, Paul reminds us not to "deprive" each other. If you doubt the importance of sex in our culture, just take a stroll through the checkout line at WalMart. Sensual images are everywhere—and Paul's admonition was given to help us recognize the importance of protecting this sacred part of the marriage relationship.
So what does that mean? It means I not only get to to take care of my husband, but I get to enjoy him, too! Besides, he's amazing! And I bet you think you husband is amazing, too.
Make sex a priority in your marriage. ♥ You won't regret the time you set aside for just the two of you.
Great remainder Thanks !! I borrow this to share itwith you my friends and busy mom's !!
Good morning, moms! ♥ Today is February 13th. That means that TOMORROW is Valentine's day! What better time than now to talk about marriage, right?
Take a moment this morning and pray—really pray —for your husband. Pray for your marriage. Over the years I have come to see a husband and wife as the first line of defense for the family. The truth is, children are at much greater risk when their parent's marriage fails. Unfortunately, we live in a culture that does not value marriage.
Most marriages these days do not end because of abuse (though many do) ... they end because of simple neglect.
Don't neglect your marriage, busy mom! It's the primary relationship in your home. Nurture it. Set aside time to be together—to dream together, work together, play together. Pursue your husband like you were still dating him—because you are! You're "That Girl!" You're the girl he fell in love with.
Most of the time, it's the simple things that make a good marriage a GREAT one. :) If your husband is with you right now, go tell him you love him. Or if you're like me :) you can send him a text that will make him excited to come home at the end of the day. Texting has become our new love language! :)
One of the life most enduring joys is a happy marriage. Love that man of yours. ♥ Invest in your marriage today.
