Our Happily Married Lifestyle!
(Godly Woman Daily)
(Godly Woman Daily)
I would say that we do our best to follow most of the "rules" most of the time. But, I wouldn't necessarily say that is what has kept us so close. I think the things that make our marriage happy are:
1. My Husband and I are Best buddies! The best advice I could give to anyone would be to marry the one God has chosen for you. Pray about it. Once you marry the person God has defined for you then Love him/her unconditionally, understand each other, Pray together, Enjoy the intimate bond and relationship. Be Friends for Life!
Love, lust and passion comes and goes. Beauty (on the outside) fades. Bodies change. But, if you are best friends, you will love each other through anything.
2. We respect each other completely. My Husband and I fully believe that each member of a family has its role. That's how things work together ...everyone doing their part. In our family, my wonderful husband works hard each day to provide for me a good home. While I have the opportunity to stay at home and work and also keep the home in order, cook healthy happy meals, do the laundry, make sure he has his things in order and in its proper place when he needs it, and we both see to that each of us satisfies the other and is happy and healthy. We each do our own part, but we fully respect the other's role. And, we each know that we could not do what we do if it were not for the hard work and dedication of the other. We each love each other for what we do. We are a true team. We have mutual respect.
3. We have fun. We love life. We have FAITH in each other, in God, in life, in love. We talk. A lot! We learn together. We read together. We discuss God and spirituality. Everyday we have a quiet devotion time together which helps us a lot. We also discuss about nutrition, love, our future together and our dreams. We really listen to each other (hmm..most of the time, lol).
4. We play games. No, really. We play lots of games together (when we have time) like card games, tennis, mind games, puzzles ... and we love it! We shop a lot together! We go on a date at least once a month or once every 2 months.
5. We do things for each other without expectation. We do things for each other out of love. We help each other out. We want the other person to be happy and have things as easy as possible.
6. We spend time together. We value our time together. We want to spend time together. We are not each other's ball-and-chain, we are each other's best friend, so we want to come home to each other. We enjoy each other's company. We value each other's opinions.
7. We are polar opposites on the silly stuff, but are perfectly matched where it matters most. He's not a chocolate person But I am all about chocolate, soft and melting in my mouth. I eat soft apples, pears..grapes and He likes them to be cold, firm with a little green left on them. He loves more of the cold drinks and tea and I am more of a coffee girl! But, when it matters, we are in perfect sync with each other. We both love God with all of our hearts and is prioritized right there. We both place family above all else in our list of our other priorities. We both love Kids! Neither of us value much for material things. We both value all living things and try to make conscious choices in our eating and living. We value and keep the Godly morals and values. We are both positive, loving people who are full of JOY. We both value the sacredness of marriage and know that we are in this together, for the long haul, for eternity till our last breath or till Jesus comes.
