30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge

I'm constantly looking for ways to improve my spirtitual walk with God by improving my relationship with my husband. After five years of marriage, I still have A LOT to learn! My friends at Revive Our Hearts have several "challenges" that women can participate in. This particular challenge was written by Nancy Leigh DeMoss I decided to go through the 30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge and share my experiences with you. I'm going to keep track of what God is doing in my marriage over this next month and I encourage you to do the same. Shall we begin?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day One:

"The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life." Prov. 31:11-12

To refresh your memory . . . here's the 30-Day Encouragement Challenge: for the next 30 days:
•You can't say anything negative about your husband . . . to your husband . . . or to anyone else, about your husband.
•Say something that you admire or appreciate about your husband. . . to your husband . . . and to someone else, about your husband!

To help you get started, have you ever thanked your husband for "choosing you" above all other women? He found you attractive as a person, and appreciated you. Though many circumstances in your marriage may have changed, let your husband know that you are glad God led you together, and that you want to be a blessing to him for the rest of your marriage. Let him know that he can trust you to be in his corner.

One of the best opportunities to express your gratitude is first thing in the morning. How do you greet your husband each morning? Is he confident in your love? Give him a "wake up call" that he'll never forget-a big "I love you" and an "I'm so glad I'm your wife!"
