L-A-B-O-R of love continued....

Okay ladies so I thought I would finish up our labor of love thoughts...

B-uild a life together:
*Try to make him laugh
*Learn to do the things he loves to do
*Make life an adventure, don't stop dating or pursuing each other
*Don't pout, just plan it!

---I have to do an insert here...I know it is hard not to pout, especially when they have not been as available as we would all want...but I can say that I have wasted a lot of precious moments, however brief they may be with pouting and refusing to communicate...It is so much better to communicate, be available, and then be willing to make a plan or roll with the punches....as always thoughts or ideas on this would be awesome...how do you Build a life together with your husband?

O-ffer yourself to him:
*You can chase! Be impossible to resist!
*Don't do totally out of your comfort zone, but live a little! Keep life interesting!
*And this doesn't just mean physically. Offer your WHOLE being to your husband. Body, mind, heart and soul.
*Again, don't pout just plan it! If he is not romantic, meet him in the middle and give a little. You can be creative.

R-espect him:
*Give him the proper place in your home
*Speak highly of your husband to your family
*Allow him to be the head..you can be the neck!!
*Honor his day, respect what he has to do and all the pressures he is dealing with. Again, be the compliment. Don't repress your feelings, just communicate. But do it without nagging!
*Good communication is key, give him a chance to serve you too...let him know how can respect you, serve you and love you better...they don't know if you don't tell them! Bless their hearts!

The last part of this encouragement is found in a quote from Phyllis Altop, wife of Hall of Fame coach and FCA baseball National Director David Altop. "We interrupt this marriage to bring you the _____________ season!" You fill in the blank to what sport/activity that you feel interrupts your marriage, then make a choice to labor in love alongside your husband this season. It truly depends on your ability to make a choice to work TOGETHER!

"A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back to back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken." Ecclesiastes 4:12

Praying for you, love you and would love to hear from you!
