Endearing Woman Network

Good morning friends. Its been a while since we shared, n i have been too busy then i just realised i need to take care of me! I need to slow down... N it feels nice to be back. Now, i have been reading " The power of a praying wife, by Stormie Omartian" n its been a blessing to us!. I will be sharing the prayer's in each chapter, so that as we work on our marriages, we invite the Lord to take over n renew us. She says we should pray for our husbands for a month using each one of her 30 areas of prayer focus included in her book, a chapter a day, we will surely see Him work on & in us for the greater good of our love life. Lets do it.

Today i would like us to take up a one week challenge for our marriages and see what happens.

The 7-Day Marriage Makeover Challenge for your marriage:

If someone offered you a way to take your marriage to a new level in one week without having to spend a dime to make it happen, would you be willing to give it a shot? Literally, you’ve got nothing to lose! It obviously takes more than seven days to transform a marriage, but I’m convinced that it’s just enough time to completely change the course and climate of your relationship in a positive way.
I’m convinced that if you will consistently do these things every day for a week, you’ll have a completely new direction in your marriage by the week’s end…

THE 7-DAY CHALLENGE
1. Have s*x everyday.
You husbands are already onboard! If this is the only thing you do, your marriage will still be stronger in a week. It takes more than s*x to make a healthy marriage, but it’s impossible to have a healthy marriage without it. Even if you and your spouse aren’t in a good place right now and the idea of intimacy seems repulsive, do it anyways. S*x is a powerful force that will help you reconnect on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.

2. Pray together every night.
This one might freak you out a little bit, but I’m convinced that prayer is one of the most intimate and important acts a couple can do together. Even if you’ve never done it before, pray together daily (out loud). Thank God for all the good in your life, ask Him to forgive you of the mistakes you’ve made and be specific about the mistakes and tell him about your hopes and your fears. Pour out your heart to your Creator in front of your spouse and you’ll connect with each other, and with God, on a new level.

3. Say nothing negative.
For one solid week, you’re not allowed to say anything negative or demanding. If you don’t have something positive to say, don’t say it. Get out of the habit of negativity and nagging. When you slip up on this one, your spouse is allowed to call you out and you’ve got to immediately apologize and follow up with saying three kind things about your spouse. This might sound childish, but you’ll be amazed at how it can change the tone of your words and your relationship.

4. Spend one hour in conversation while all electronics are turned off.
We live in a world where it’s possible to be in the same room but in different worlds. You can’t have a meaningful conversation with your spouse while you’re texting with someone, watching TV, and working on your laptop. For at least one hour each night, after the kids are asleep, turn off the TV and all electronics and have conversation. Maybe you’ve forgotten how to do it, but you’ll pick it back up quickly. Talk about your day, your hopes, your dreams and anything else that comes to your mind. That seven hours of uninterrupted conversation over the course of the week will be fuel for your marriage!

who is in with me? mine starts today

Good morning blessed people. I trust you are doing well.Today i would like us to talk about FINANCES IN MARRIAGE. How do you handle finances with your spouse? Do you guys plan and stick to the plan or plan and act in a totally opposite way from what you had planned or are you the type who never talk about money with your spouse? For the past two weeks my husband & i have been really keen on our income streams and our expenses, trying to budget so that we are able to increase what we are setting aside for the future. It has been a really challenging but humbling experience, sitting down to discuss how to spend your hard earned cash!But i tell it is worth it. The peace that comes with that discussion is incomparable.

Research shows that one of the causes of divorce is money: the lack of it and the mismanagement of it. Its said that now-days spouses don't know what each other is earning!!!!!!! in this case how does this particular family grow as a team? We can avoid this by creating a talking culture about our money and how we want to use it as a family. This week please just share with your spouse what your thoughts are about your income streams as a family and what you can do to have a better life tomorrow. Be blessed.
