Becoming the Wife God Created Me To Be
Welcome back to another Matrimonial Monday! The first post I wish to feature Comes from Delora Now. My Lack of Respect for My Husband, Led to My Son’s Disrespect. I love her honesty and openness. Her post was very similar to mine in that she talked about our words and the tone of voice we use. Her wake up call was when her son began… Read the rest here. The Happy Wives Club is a blog I just [...]
When you are talking to your man, how’s your tone? Are you nicely asking, nagging, demanding, whining? How’s your tone? Or in this case mine. Saturdays we sometimes sleep in, hubby more so than I. I wanted to go to the store and knew we didn’t need a lot, so we could walk. I went into the bedroom and told Jason to get up, because I wanted to go to the store. He asked what that had to do with [...]
Welcome back to another Matrimonial Monday, where you can find amazing articles about marriage and homemaking linked up below! My turn to choose features, and as usual, there were many great posts linked up and it was hard to chose just one or two. However, I did manage to narrow it down, (I’m awesome like that!) and here are the features from last week. Esther at Laugh with us Blog, talks about languages. I don’t know about you, but when [...]
It takes a strong woman to cheerfully submit to her husbands requests. It takes a strong woman to give up what she wants in honor of her man. Yes, it takes a strong woman to stand up for herself, but it takes an even stronger woman to stand up to herself. Tweet that. It Takes a Strong Woman to Respect her Man! For years women were considered the weaker gender. Until one day women stood up and said “that’s enough, [...]
Can you believe we have hosted over 30 Matrimonial Monday’s since starting this last year? I cannot believe how time has flown. There were a lot of great posts linked up last week and they were all really great. Sadly there were a few posts linked up that hadn’t even received one click. So I’m going to share one of them, I’m sure you will enjoy it. The other one, many of you guys chose, so I’m going to share [...]
Ever had a moment, where you totally lacked inspiration? It doesn’t happen very often to me, but when it does…. My lovely co-host is doing the features today, and I should be writing a post. But the beautiful weather outside is calling my name and I think I will have to answer. So for lack of better inspiration, I will leave you with a link to a post wrote back in September of last year. I miss the Guy I [...]
You may have noticed last week that my faithful co-host had a rotten thing happen, her blog was (and still is) down. Completely! She is pretty sad about that but working hard to get all in order. So that weeks links didn’t get any features chosen, I didn’t want to leave any-one out, so this week I am sharing features from that last two link ups. I think they are pretty good! I love Paula at Beauty Through Imperfection. Her [...]
Should married couples take breaks? That is my question for today. I would love some honest (and kind) input from my readers. source A friend of mine recently told me she and her boyfriend were taking a break. Her exact words to me were “if he has to live without me for a week, maybe he will start treating me better”. Having been together with the two of them in the past, I gently asked her about how she treated [...]
In reading through the wonderful posts that were linked up, I noticed a theme among a few of them. Forgiveness and marriage. If you want a good marriage, there must be forgiveness. I thought I would share two of them that really spoke to my heart. At 31 Cups, Gretchen shared her post, Muddled love and Forgiving your Spouse. She shares about her favorite place in the whole world, her “other home” as you are reading, it feels as though [...]
One thing that helps a marriage is considering each other. It’s so easy to just do what we want and forget the others wants and wishes. Dear hubby is a great example of considering each other. Since I’ve been on this Reboot diet, it’s been a little hard being around food. Obviously hubby cannot starve while I am dieting, so I fix normal food for him. He will often take his food and eat in another room, or wait until [...]
Welcome back to another Matrimonial Monday! I cannot wait to see what you have this week. Last week we had a lot of wonderful stories linked up and it was so hard to choose which ones to feature. However, there were two that really jumped out at me, and I want to share them with you. Elizabeth at Warrior Wives, talked about hearts. How many times do we hear,“follow your heart” or just trust what your heart is telling you”? [...]
He’s my protector. I cannot count the times I hear words like these: “Be careful driving to work.” “Watch the roads tonight, they may be slick.” “Did you take your vitamins?” “See that poison ivy? Walk over here.” “Got your phone?” Ok, I think you get the idea. All those comments and many others, he says to protect me or look out for me. But guess what? My nature finds them annoying. Be careful driving to work, and I’m thinking, [...]
Right now it’s easy, we don’t have kids (unless fur-babies count), and we spend a lot of time together. But what about when there are children in the picture? Both of today’s features, mention ways to spend time together so you don’t lose touch. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did. Megan at Here’s to You Mrs. Robinson shared her post Who did you Marry? I found it interesting in the fact that she mentions most [...]
While I mostly prefer Christian Music, sometimes I will flip through other stations. I’ve heard the this song before, but for some reason when “I thought I Loved You then” came on the radio last week, tears came to my eyes. So this is my version for my hubby in honor of Valentines. I Thought I Loved You Then. You were my friend first, we had so much fun together just hanging out in a group. Then I found out [...]
Have you ever had one of those times when you discover something a little less than desirable about yourself? Like maybe realizing you’re a control freak? I have. Like that time I realized, I really don’t like people telling me how to do stuff. Or that time I was more than annoyed because hubby was right and not me (that’s the norm around here). Or the time we were going out on jet skies on vacation and I refused to [...]
Financially, with hubby being laid off for 6 weeks, Jan and Feb are the worst months for us. But that don’t mean we don’t do valentines. So what are some cheap ways to celebrate Valentines day? Let’s consider love languages. If you haven’t read the book The 5 Love Languages, I highly recommend it. Today I’m going to share cheap ways to celebrate Valentine’s day, for each love language. Cheap Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day ~Love Language version. Touch. If [...]
Glad to see you coming back for another Matrimonial Monday! A big thanks to every-one who linked up last week, despite me not really being around much. Yes, I was on vacation. Enjoying the beautiful Florida Keys. Photos coming soon, I promise! So, on to this week’s features: #1 Leslie at Simply Better, is doing a series, 31 days to a better marriage. She shared day 11 with us. Day 11 is to pray for wisdom and learning when to [...]
One thing I have learned is this, in a good marriage, you need to both work and play together. This past week we have been busy with one of those. So, no nice long thought provoking post today like normal. Hopefully in a couple weeks I will have some photos and other fun stuff to share with you as far as what’s been keeping us occupied this week. In the meantime, link up your posts below, how have [...]
When you are thinking of your man, let your thoughts be prayers. If he has hurt you in some way, let those thoughts be prayers of forgiveness. If his photo makes you smile when you see it, let your thoughts be prayers of thanks giving to the God who created you for him. When you associate every thought of your husband to a prayer for him. You will see him in a different light. Thanks to every-one who linked up [...]
If you were to ask what is the most unique thing about our relationship, I would definitely say it’s how we have fun together. We were friends first. It was not a case of love at first sight. If you are a veteran reader here, you will remember The Dorky Looking Guy! Having been friends first, it gave me a chance to get to know him. We weren’t trying to impress each other as often happens when you are dating. [...]
Hello, my name is Kendra. I am married to an amazing young man
named Jason, whom I lovingly call hubby when I’m writing. The only way I could ever explain our relationship is to use words like: crazy, silly, funny… well you get the point. He’s perfect for me! {Read More}
