I feel like sometimes I neglect my marriage, neglect my husband. I know we are secure in our love & with each other so I fail to put in the effort that I should. I take my husband for granted (just like he takes me for granted). I get so caught up in the day to day insanity that I forget to nurture our relationship.
To be perfectly honest, we took an Anniversary trip several years back celebrating our 10 year, & I was miserable. I missed my kids. I didn’t know what to talk about. I was bored.
I’ve asked God to help me. Help me love my husband more. Help me adore him more. Help me want him more.
More recently (the past few years), I’ve started cherishing our alone time. Our mini vacations, our breakfast dates, riding along if he has to go somewhere. I enjoy being with just him.
As I was walking through the woods the other day with him to get a deer stand, I realized that God had answered my prayer.
He changed my heart & gave me a stronger desire for the one He picked out for me.
Then a strange thought struck me & I couldn’t help but giggle a little. I started looking forward to spending more time with my husband when my relationship with my teenager started getting stressful!
I immediately thanked God for renewing that love while apologizing for not praying for my kids enough.
Lord, help me through the rough days. Help me to cherish the good days. Help me to hold fast to your promises on all the days in between!
