...all the time CHOOSE GOD
"When your eating, drinking, working, playing, speaking, or writing is no longer for the glory of God, you should stop it immediately, because when you no longer live for the glory of God, you begin to live for your own glory. Then you separate yourself from God and do yourself harm. Your main question should always be whether something is lived with or without God."
Henri Nouwen, The Inner Voice of Love

Date Night Ideas
I'm sure you've heard "a family that prays together, stays together," in like manner, a couple that plays together stays together. The most fundamental element in a dream marriage is friendship Amos 3:3. See, it doesn't really matter what you are doing on your date as long as you are together and you 'made' it happen, as in not by accident. Think of a car, no matter how nice it is, if it doesn't get serviced, the engine will surely knock! Dates are the servicing our marriage cars need. Here are some inexpensive date night ideas for me first...hehe, yes and you too my friends!

Reflections- I worship You by Mary Mary
It's so easy leave God in the background rather than the center of our marriages. And with good reason right? Wrong. There can never be a good enough reason to leave God in the background of our lives. Do I pray? For my husband? My children? My home? Of course. But sometimes it's just in a bid to keep him there...somewhere. His place is at the center, all we are is through Him and our lives are for Him and we must purposely preserve His place of preeminence.

Be strong and of good courage, do not be afraid , nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9)

Intimacy with God- Give You More by JMoss
The first time I heard this song on the radio, I knew I was walking down the aisle to it on my wedding day. We are all called to love God with our marriages.

Honoring Your "Him"...
After
the wedding, the honeymoon, the post-honeymoon bliss lol, then comes
the life...yes, your life together, everyday, all-day! As a wife the
only instruction given to us from God was to "submit to your
husbands." Ephesians
5: 22-24.
It seems simple enough right, wrong. But it should though, shouldn't
it? After all it's the only task we have, however it is one of the
greatest challenges marriages face today.
Honoring
your husband is so broad, it spans from agreeing with his motivation
(so long as it's in line with God's will) even when we don't
particularly like his method, to never having a "headache"
on the nights he has made us unhappy and everything in between. One
very major "in between" is our tone- what we say, how we
respond, verbally and non-verbally. We must honor our husband in our
communication, it makes sense because this is probably the most
frequent activity we engage in with him, even when we are silent! A
soft answer is like a sweet kiss, close your eyes and ponder on that
for a moment. Imagine a gentle breeze blowing through a window with
lace curtains, yes! Proverbs
15: 1
The
good news is, God doesn't give us more than we can handle. It can be
done as long as we have our hearts stayed on God, see your husband as
a means to an end, you are honoring him to honor God. God IS the end,
therefore dishonoring your husband means dishonoring God. Another way
to look at it is this, honoring your husband is practice for honoring
God- when you honor a husband you can see, its easier to honor a God
that you can't see...1
John 4:20.
And
what if your husband is an unbeliever? Honor him anyway. "In the
same way, wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, even
if some disobey the Christian message, they may be won over without a
message by the way their wives live." 1
Peter 3:1
