Marriage...This IS The Life

Today's post was a reminder for not only our readers but for self as well. Often times life happens and we get caught up in the children, bills, work, and social demands that take us away from our joy of being a loyal spouse. We can at times, not intentionally I might add, take our spouse for granted. One wise individual once said that "Comfortability is the Biggest Snitch You Will Ever Meet". There should be comfort in a marriage but we should not make a rug out of it and walk all over it with muddy high heel stiletto boots. More often than not we should slow down and consider that our mate married a person who was there for them and made them feel special in every way. A man who has a wife wants to continue to remember her as the bride of his youth.  The one that stood at the altar with him and held his hand and happily took his last name as they walked down the aisle and saluted every one as Mr. & Mrs.

Yes, things may have become more complicated since the day you were married. But do not let the complications of life take you away from being the fun, ride or die, listener, dreamer, motivator, and biggest cheerleader your husband ever met. You have matured and yes we all see things a little differently as we go through the marriage seasons, however, you can think like a wife, but act like a blushing bride and let him know that you are on his side no matter what. Incorporate some new rituals. Start off with minor changes like kissing him before leaving for work. Running to the door or garage when he gets home with a hug and a smile. Bring him home a small cooler with his favorite beverage on ice inside on a Friday or Saturday night. Saying I stand by you and believe in you can be done many ways. Seize the opportunity in each day to let him know that you have his side, back and front. Pray for him out loud and let him know that even though your schedule may be full, he is at the top of your priority list. Remember, a wife wants love, a husband wants respect, give it on both ends and nothing will go unchecked.

Blessings,
