How To Love The Man You Married

Do you love the man you married? What is a priority in your marriage? Is it doing whatever you want by living the way you want and getting what you want when you want it?  Or do you and your husband both agree or disagree on important issues and problems that affect the marriage? When we disregard our husband’s protection and decisions for us then we are basically living our own life. This surely doesn’t mean that a husband has the right to disregard his wife’s feelings either and do whatever he wants. It works both ways.

Do You Reject Your Husband's Feelings

When we get married, we’re not daddy’s little girl anymore. Well we are, but we now have a new responsibility-to be a good wife to our husbands. When we get married our life is now with our husbands. Most men want to be respected for their position as the man in the marriage. Loving your man is regarding him with respect and reverence just because he is your husband.

I do realize there are many good wives out there who treat their husbands with respect, but I think there are just as many who don’t. Loving the man you married is not about getting your way all the time. It is not rejecting your husband sexually or in any other way. Just because a woman doesn’t feel like having sex doesn’t mean she should deny her husband. This works both ways too. 

Are You Respecting the Man You Married?

Respecting the man you married is not constantly nagging and complaining to him over minor issues and circumstances going on around the home because you feel the need to control or have power over him. Some wives do this often and don’t even realize they are doing it. Husbands don’t even realize this is happening. Then we wonder why our man strays from the marriage. Is it because we are devaluing our man’s position in the marriage? I should think so.

When you feel yourself wanting to gain some aspect of control over certain issues, stop and ask yourself, “Is this really worth arguing with my husband over”? Take a deep breath and relax. Understand that there are, and will be, many, many things you do not have control over. The more we believe that we can change something to fit our needs better, the more we get disappointed when nothing changes.

What Can You Change In Your Marriage?

We must have the understanding and wisdom to know “what we can change”, and the courage to change only those things that we can actually change.  I know for a fact that we can change our own attitude and we can change circumstances that we have created. We can influence our husband’s in a loving, humble way, but this doesn’t mean to control them or change them.  There is a difference.

Marriage is not that difficult when we learn to let our spouse just be. We really ought to worry more about what we are doing that could be detrimental to the marriage relationship rather than watching the faults of each other.

Loving the man you married is about taking the time to understand his feelings. Letting him talk about how he feels, even if he is being vague about those feelings. He wants to trust you and he wants the assurance that he can trust you with his feelings. Husbands can be vulnerable too, especially if his feelings have been belittled, scoffed or denounced in the past by his wife. Can he trust her? Treating your man this way is a sure-fire way to get him to clam up on you.

If You Are Married To A God-Fearing Man Give Him The Reins

Loving the man you married is giving him the reins for a while and letting him steer the boat. No real man likes to be the back seat passenger in his own boat. Let your husband lead the boat to where he wants to take it. How about not bickering and negating your man’s feelings. Learn to trust the man you married. Give in for the sake of “giving in” and for respect and love.

If you are married to a God-fearing man you shouldn’t feel intimidated handing over the reins to him. The truth is there are more than 101 ways to love the man you married and you only need to practice one way to be a loving wife the rest of the 100 ways. And that is to respect, in every way, the man you married. See the companion article to this article. How To Love The Woman You Married

How To Love The Woman You Married

God created the sexes equal and yet they each have different temperaments, personalities, and behaviors that compliment one another. The best way to love the woman you married is to understand those differences. Your wife likes it when you express your feelings to her, rather than keeping your feelings bottled up.  She wants details from your heart and mind, not curt yes and no answers. You’re not with the guys anymore when you come home from work.

A woman feels closer to her man when he talks about himself and can openly discuss issues within himself. Tell her what is bothering you. Don’t hold stuff in and get resentful over it. Emotional and psychological infidelities are caused from the lack of emotional intimacy between couples. Always keep the communication lines open between you and your wife. This will keep the marriage intimate and active. When couples stop talking, that’s when to start worrying.

I don’t care how long you have been married your wife still wants to hear the words “I love you” every single day. Many wives want to be held by you for at least one full minute every single day. She wants to be “shown” your love for her by your manly protection of her. Do not be intimidated to exert your God-given headship position in the marriage. That is what God made you for. This is actually the proper way to love and care for the woman you married. Be her man so she can be your woman.

God gave the male sex the instinctive ability to be a protector of women and children. The captain always goes down with his ship, or is the last one off the ship. Where are you in your marriage? First or last? You should put your wife’s well being above yours. You’re the captain and she is your first mate. Your buddies, your work, your sports, or your parents are not your first mate – your wife is.

When a man puts his own Captain first in his life he will not have any problems respecting and loving his wife in the ways that are meant for him to love her. In marriage there will be some days when your wife may get overly emotional, dramatic, cranky, or talkative. So what! Let her be. Don’t put her down by telling her she is emotional. Grin and bear it instead. Are you the captain of your ship?

Don’t take your wife’s emotions personally. Usually all she really needs is your understanding and support of her feelings. Give her a back massage and take the kids for the day. And remember that a woman’s hormones tend to get a bit wacko during ovulation and “forty something” women may behave more emotional than normal because of perimenopause. This I know for a fact. The herb called Black Cohash works great for this, by the way ladies. Call your local health food store and see if they have it, or you can buy it online. It really works on the temperament.

Make your wife the center of your attention. Make her feel important in your life every single day. Always communicate your thoughts, ideas and feelings with the woman you married. Yes, women can get emotional sometimes, work with her, accept it and move on. 

Be completely humble and gentle, be patient bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:2-3)

How I lost 3-Inches In 3 Days 
http://heavenministries.itworks.net/

I want to share something amazing with you. What I’m about to tell you will seem unbelievable but it is very true! This is not about losing weight but about losing fat and cellulite, which is losing inches. This fantastic product is called Ultimate Body Wrap. It is safe and easy to use with natural botanicals as its ingredients.

Do you want to reduce the signs of cellulite?
Do you have belly rolls when you sit down?
Do you want to fit into your favorite jeans again?
Would you like tighter/firmer skin tone?
Would you like to reduce wrinkles and fine lines?
How about reducing stretch marks?
Would you like to release toxic buildup in your system?

The Ultimate Body Wrap can do all that! Below is my personal testimony of how the body wrap worked for me, and how I lost 3-inches in just three days. You can also lose inches, body fat and cellulite in just three days!

When my friend first told me how I could lose fat cells from applying a cloth with some lotion on it onto my belly, I was skeptical and I laughed in her face. But she kept pestering me to try the body wrap. Just so I could tell her “see I told you it wouldn’t work”, I begrudgingly complied. And am I glad that I did!

My Testimony Using Ultimate body Wrap

March 30, 2009 -- 7:00 pm: I first measured my midriff, belly and hip area. I applied the wrap. I logged my measurements on a piece of paper. I marked my side with a felt pen so I would know exactly where I put the tape measure. I knew that I would be measuring my stomach area again just to show my friend that this stuff really doesn’t take inches off.

I placed the wrap over my midriff and then wrapped a piece of cellophane around me to hold the wrap in place.  It felt tingly and cool against my skin. It also smelled really good, like eucalyptus. The tingling lasted for about an hour but continued to feel cool and soothing on my skin. 

March 30, 2009 – 9:00 pm: After two hours I took off the wrap and massaged the remaining herbal lotion into my skin.  My stomach felt tighter and smoother. I measured myself and couldn’t believe what I was actually seeing. I was almost two inches smaller! I was shocked to say the least. I jumped up and down with joy. Even my husband got excited over this stuff and that is a miracle.

March 31, 2009 – 10:00 am: The next morning I measured myself again and I lost another half inch. “How can this be”, I say to myself? “I’m not even wearing the wrap any longer”. Well, after reading more about this product I realized that the botanicals, which I will talk about in a minute, are still working together to shrink fat cells! The herbs work in your system for up to 72 hours afterwards!

April 1, 2009 – 9:30 am: The next day, I measured myself again and I lost another inch of fat off my belly area! And now I am here to tell you about this powerful poultice that when applied to your skin will actually reduce fat, cellulite, and inches. It is unbelievable!

If I didn’t firmly believe in this product, I wouldn’t be writing about it. But the Ultimate Body Wrap is an awesome product. It is very safe to use because it only uses natural botanicals. It will really make you lose body fat and inches! Measurements don’t lie. Not only that, but it expels toxins from the lymphatic system, making you feel refreshed and rejuvenated for days.

How Does The Ultimate Body Wrap Work?

In a nutshell, the wrap is composed of botanicals that work to break down stored fat cells and release toxins. When the herbs are combined together they work on the lymphatic system, which allows for toxins to be released through body elimination.

The tingling sensation you will feel on your skin while wearing the wrap are the herbal properties working through your pores into blood vessels and capillaries, releasing toxins and breaking down fat.

The Ultimate body Wrap works on your skin just like an herbal poultice would. It is advised to drink lots of water while wearing the wrap and 72 hours afterwards to ensure efficient release of toxins.  Most of the herbs used in the wrap are anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, skin toners, and cell regeneration promoters. You can see all of the ingredients in the wrap by going to my website.

I know that herbs are powerful healers because I have studied, grown and used herbs for years. So is it any wonder that when we apply such powerful herbs on our biggest organ, the skin, that we would see and feel results almost immediately?

I would strongly consider the Ultimate Body Wrap to be a simple but mild form of liposuction. Now you don’t have to have dangerous, evasive surgery done when you can safely do the very same thing for yourself using nature’s cupboard, and for a fraction of the cost!

The “do it yourself” body wrap is a must have for anyone who wants to experience the power of herbs going to work on their body. A healthy body means healthy attitude. The Ultimate body Wrap when used in conjunction with a wholesome diet and exercise will make your feel good about the way you look. You are your body’s best friend - treat it well.

Because I have used this product and loved the results I can absolutely guarantee that you will love it too. But watch out! It can become addicting. I would be thrilled to answer any questions you may have about this product.

 Ask Angie 
Married To An Unbeliever

Ask Angie: I've been married for 31 years and for the last 25 years my husband has had affairs after affairs and I just found out he has been seeing his sister's ex-husband's wife. I've decided to divorce him. There is no other way because I've tried to get him help and it only lasted for a minute. This has affected my children who are grown. I believed in what the WORD says but enough is enough and I've ask God to help me. Why do you think women in my case stays with who have affairs?

Answer: Women stay with men who continually commit adultery probably in the hopes he will stop cheating or financially they are afraid to make it on their own or don't want to make it on their own. It is really sad for the spouse who continually gets trespassed upon by an adulterer...as I have said before it is just like an addiction and should be treated as such. If your spouse continually commits adultery it is because they have no connection with their Creator. Basically, you're married to an unbeliever. Please read through these articles for hope and encouragement.
