Thank you for having this post — What you say I struggle with. . . the "i" mentality has controlled me for too long. . . I feel like my marriage is in shambles and yet — I hear of so many women who just start letting go and letting God. . . he changes them. . . which then makes the husband more attractive — and things. . .after much prayer and patience. . . get better. Oh how I desire for things to get better!!!

I loved this post! How true that is! My husband is always that and I usually tell him 'not now'. My poor rejected hubby. :( I really need to learn to be better at dropping what I'm doing and seizing the moment, most times what I'm doing can wait.

So glad I found your blogsite to help inspire me and my marriage. I married late in life at 37 yrs old and it has been a struggle in so many ways. But after three and half years, I'm learning slowing to adjust – most of all my attitude! Thank you for being YOU! and this blog. God Bless you!!

Funny – As I read the title of this post I considered not taking the time to read it as I feel my marriage is secure, strong, etc. (and I wanted to read something that sounded more "relevant" to me right now, perhaps managing work stress for example). But I did read it and truly feel enlightened. This is absolutely an eye-opener! Why should I be content with the status quo? I owe it to my husband, to our relationship, and to God to continue to show and develop more and more love each day. Someone said "love is a verb not an emotion" (I love that!) and "marriage is not about you" (I love that too!!). I heard on a radio talk show a few months ago that marriage should be such that the husband and wife, their children, and even those who barely know the couple are drawn closer to God. That is certainly a taller order than just "for better or worse, richer or poorer, etc."!
This is my first time navigating this blog. I LOVE it and feel so blessed to have found you Sisters in Christ! Warm hugs to all of you!

Marriage definitely is work, but who said work can't also be fun?!Couldn't the wife have playfully said something humorous that met both their goals like, "if you give me ten minutes now, I'll give you my very special attention very soon"That's more of a win/winOne of the best parts of the 31DBBB is meeting new bloggers. Thanks!Love=FunDina

I'm loving this series of posts about marriage! This definately hits the nail on the head in my own household. It can be VERY trying at times.But on a more positive note: at least the husband is still attracted to his wife. Right? Or he wouldn't be going out of his way to grope her . . . ;) Just a twist on the hubby/wife encounter.

Such a great post…how interesting last week I was reading I Corinthians 13 and you know how it has been said to put your name in the place of the word love in this chapter…well, it stopped me dead in my tracks…it was a wake up call to how loving or unloving I can be each and every day.Thank you for this encouragement!Helen
