100 Ways and 100 Days To Love Your Spouse

Day 22- Extend God’s grace to him and be forgiving when he offends you.  If you cannot extend God’s grace to your husband, who can you extend it to?  Be swift in forgiveness.  Your husband will see Christ’s face in yours when you do this.  I never hold grudges with my husband.  He, in turn, appreciates my forgiveness and is also quick to forgive me when I offend him.  Darrell & I have decided collectively that life is way too short to live out grudges.  Let your husband see Christ’s face in yours and you will soon see that he, too, will swiftly forgive you in return.

100 Ways and 100 Days To Love Your Spouse

Day 21- Don’t over commit yourself. Leave time for him. We, as women, tend to want to be supermom or superwife or superwoman.  We must put God first in our lives, then our spouse, then our children and so forth.  He should get your attention above all others in your life.  You must nourish your relationship(s) at home first before tending to any and all other commitments. Darrell and I choose to participate in out-of-the-home activities together. We have very similar hobbies and love spending time together always.  Leave time for your husbands, ladies….before ANYONE else.  He should get the “best” of you. All others should get the “leftovers”…LOL.
