Brand New Journey

My husband and I have hit a real stale period in our relationship. We sleep in separate rooms now and we are only intimate a handful of times a year. We've become lazy and bored with each other. We both have self-esteem issues and instead of encouraging and supporting one another we do nothing. Sad I know, but this is where we are. I stumbled upon a blog site - womensmarriageministry.blogspot.com , and I have been inspired to not only begin an awakening in my marriage but in my relationship with God as well. I'm very excited about both, but also a little afraid. What if it doesn't work? It will ! Aimee Freeman of women's marriage ministry has issued a 14 day challenge and the purpose of this challenge is to help us become the Godly wives our husbands deserve. So here goes!
Lesson #1 - Tonight or tomorrow when your spouse comes home, greet them at the door. Don't yell from another room. Physically meet them at the door. Let them know that you missed them today. (even if you didn't) I have started doing this with Adam & he absolutely loves it. Honestly, so do I. I feel much more special when I feel that everyone is happy to see me. If this is not possible to do it this way due to your schedules, then be sure to make him feel like you missed him & you are happy to see him when you are face to face.
I'll let you know how it goes.
