Marriage Challenge: Marital Intimacy, Get a Sitter
For this Marriage Challenge we’re going to focus on being more purposeful about marital intimacy. It’s far too easy to get caught up in the day to day activities of our lives, especially, when we are homeschool mamas. From the time we wake we start the mommy process, morning hugs, making sure teeth get brushed, beds made, kids dressed, and then their is breakfast to pull together. Of course we have a timer (so to speak) going so that we get school started, field trips under our belts, co-ops, classes and errands run, all before rushing home to get dinner started so we can eat at a reasonable time. Then,…

Marriage Challenge Day 4: Commit to Prayer
Prayer is a powerful connection between you and the one who created you. What better way to grow in love with your husband than to bring him into your prayer as you fall before the Lord’s throne? God our Father longs for each of his children to come to Him in prayer. He cares for us, and wants us to desire to draw near to Him. When life’s burdens come your way, when struggles are present in your marriage, when finances are tight and job woes exist, the greatest thing you can do is to cast your care upon the Father, for He cares for you.

Marriage Challenge: Oh Be Careful with Your Mouth
In today’s Marriage Challenge we’re going to focus on what we say with our mouth. The mouth can be used for good, or it can destroy relationships.

In America we have the freedom of speech granting us the right to say what we think, feel, or opine. But should we? For “He who would love life And…

Marriage Challenge: Focus on His Needs
In this Marriage Challenge, Day 2, we’re going to focus on his needs. Learn to walk beside him, helping him, and ensuring he has what he needs. In the everyday of life we get caught up in meeting the needs of everyone around us. Sometimes it’s the needs of our children, other times it’s the needs of friends or neighbors. We might even discover that we are so busy doing work for the church, acts of service, and general charitable deeds for others that we realize we’ve missed the mark when it comes to being a wife.

Marriage Challenge: Think About How You Dress
Day 1 of our 5 Day Marriage Challenge has you focusing on your husband’s visual response to you. Remember when you and your spouse were dating? Remember what it felt like when you were prepping for a date? Remember how careful you were in the way you dressed, in an attempt to please him? It’s that thought that I want you to hold in the forefront of your mind every day for 5 days as you get dressed for the day. How you dress matters, maybe not as much as other more important things, but your husband responds to visual things. Impress him. Too often we get caught up in what’s…
