Wow! So did you notice a positive response from your spouse the last two days or what?! I know some of you did! That is so awesome!!! Keep up the good work my friends - a happy marriage is possible! And I suppose I should have warned you that when you are eager to please, help, assist, support, etc. - you will find more ways for you to do so, and so will your spouse lol!
Today's challenge is taken out of The Power of a Praying Husband. It was just too good not to share with you all. Many times, husbands and wives alike don't realize or take into consideration what a huge impact their words and actions have in the lives of their spouse. For better or worse, consider yourself the most influential person in your spouse's life. And if you're not, you should be - for the better!
Pray this prayer with your spouse today. If, and only if, your spouse refuses to pray with you, pray it yourself:
Lord, I pray that You would establish in me and (your spouse's name) bonds of love that cannot be broken. Show me how to love my wife/husband in an ever-deepening way that s/he can clearly recognize. May we have mutual respect and admiration for each other so that we become and remain one another's greatest friend, champion, and unwavering support. Where love has been diminished, lost, destroyed, or buried under hurt and disappointment, put it back in our hearts. Give us strength to hold on to the good in our marriage, even in those times when one of us doesn't feel love.
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. John 15:12
