Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 28 Apr 2008

Today, I embark on a new series on The power of God centered marriages. Today’s word of encouragement is, spending quality time talking. Let’s stop making excuses, which justifies our actions. It is simply asking yourself, how much do I value my marriage? Today, I have a challenge for all married couples. Spend one hour of your time each day. Away from your children, free your mind of all worries, stresses, issues, and don’t talk about work. For the first 30 minutes, simply write down the things that you appreciate most about your spouse, sometimes write a song, and sometimes write a poem, etc. As cheesy as this may seem, in life it is easier to see the flaws in people than the positives. It is time we establish the positives in our marriages not the flaws. Finally the last 30 minutes, I hope you can pray with your wife. Thanking God for each other, pray for your children, pray for God’s protection, and pray what God leads you both to pray about. The challenge here is to re-ignite the fire! Rekindle LOVE. Husbands win your wife over and over again. Wives, I pray and hope that you would feel the security of your family through the leadership of your husband. Marriage is precious, only if it is God centered, God focused, and God purposed. Genesis 2:24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. © Apr 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com
