I skipped a couple of days....

...but we are going to jump back into the marriage challenge today!!!  My daughter's 8th birthday was over the weekend and it was a  great time!!  She had 3 friends over for a sleep over on Friday evening, we went garage saling Saturday after dropping off the friends, and then spent the rest of the day at the ball park watching big brother play ball. Sunday afternoon we had her "family" party.  A cousin on her Dad's side has a birthday the same week so we celebrate together.  The weather was AWESOME and the kids (total of 9) had a great time playing outside!!! I will post pictures later..... this morning is rushed.... Now.... on to our challenge..... we are going to be at day 13...... We CAN do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our husbands would really enjoy us to spend some time focusing on this one!!!!!!  Don't loose heart.... just find ONE thing to compliment him on...... Make it a priority for him SOON!!!!  Give it your all and you might be SURPRISED!!!!  Build him up in this area and you go a LONG way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! _____________________________________ From Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Day Thirteen: "I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me." Song of Solomon 7:10 The sexual relationship. It's one of those elements  - along with money and children - that can derail a marriage through negative comments. Negativity destroys intimacy, but encouragement builds and strengthens the marriage bond. Let's get practical here. Is your husband a "good lover?" Have you told him so? Be specific. Let him know when he pleases you. Most husbands genuinely want to please their wives, especially in this important area of marriage. In moments of intimacy, do you find your mind wandering? This can change as you focus on something wonderful about your husband. Realize that your husband wants intimacy with you...his desire is toward you. Does this area of your marriage need some work?  Remember that this is a sensitive area for men. Be sure to encourage his lovemaking and masculinity in positive ways.
