One of the most important things I can do as a wife is to actively pray for my husband, and myself in my role as a wife. In my case, being unequally yoked, my submissiveness speaks volumes. And in focused times of prayer God always reminds me to Be Thankful! I make a conscious effort to do the following things:<BR/><BR/>Thank God daily for such a wonderful husband, mentioning specific qualities for which I am grateful.<BR/><BR/>Look for daily ways to be a blessing to my husband (trying to understand what pleases him, anticipating his needs, etc.)<BR/><BR/>Keep my mouth shut and refrain from complaining.<BR/><BR/>Take responsibility for my health and my emotional well being: Stay rested, don't overcommit and then complain, remain in the influence of friends that model a shared appreciation for the man God has given to them.<BR/><BR/>Stay focused on making a home for my family and remember that this is my highest calling and responsibility, and that it has eternal value. The more I do this, the happier and more content I am.<BR/><BR/>And at the end of each day...relax.<BR/>Let it all go...don't let the sun go down on your anger. Tomorrow will come whether you worry or not.<BR/>KISS (keep it simple sisters). A mans needs are simple. They want to be fed, they want their kids mothered, and they want lovin'.<BR/><BR/>nickmal(at)wildblue(dot)netnickmalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09298019562440960215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-46138094333516167202008-09-04T00:10:00.000-04:002008-09-04T00:10:00.000-04:00I love Casting Crowns.
