The week nine challenge is...
"Kiss him like you mean it!"
I, for one, do not think this means to write him notes or pray for him...
We're talking about forgetting about the dishes you need to do, the letters you need to send off, the kids that you didn't have enough time to bathe, the floor that needs to be swept in the morning... FORGET all of that and just use all of your energy to love on your husband.
With a sick baby in the house (waking up all night because he's congested) and feeling not so hot myself, I'm going to need to put a good deal of effort into this. But I can tell you that I'm usually feeling so much self-pity by the end of the day that I normally don't. I'm sure I'm not the only wife/mom/homemaker/homeschooler that throws a pity party at the end of the day. I think that for the sake of my marriage, I can leave a few things undone so that I'm NOT so exhausted by the end of the day...
I just got my copy of Heidi St. John's The Busy Homeschool Mom's Guide to Romance in the mail and I believe that NOW is a good time to put down Mansfield Park and start reading it... : )
This would work better for me if I could get the grown kids to leave the house!
ReplyDeleteHaha I like this one. He won't know what hit him ;)
ReplyDelete@Victoria, maybe they'd get up and leave if they caught their parents making out in the kitchen ;)
