HAPPY WIFE

Hello Everyone! Welcome to the New Year!  Last year had many struggles and set backs, especially with finances, but God gave me more then I deserved.  When times get hard and the battle begins, I remember   (Philippians 4:11-13) I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstance.  I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.  I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.  I can do everything through him who give me strength.

Happiness is a gift only you can give yourself – Do you ever wonder when walking down the street, if people crossing your path are happy?  Do you ever wonder why you are, or are not happy? Do you ever wonder why it’s so hard to stay happy?  Happiness is not something that happens naturally. My secret for happiness comes from my relationships with family, friends and those closest to me, but not without my relationship with Jesus Christ.  I discovered that for me, true happiness can only be achieved through God.  Knowing who He is and what He has done for me, has allowed me to recognize happiness.  I respect others choices to believe as they wish, but for me, I choose to believe in Jesus Christ.

Right now I am under attack with happiness as a wife.  I have never been completely happy in my marriage, and my situation is due solely to my choice.  I married someone unequally yoked, and now I’m living with the consequences.  For me, there is no real right or wrong in my decision, there is good or bad consequences.  As a Christian woman, I knew I should have married a Christian man that believes as I do.  However, as many Christian women do, I didn’t heed to the Word and married thinking I could change him.  I tried to change, what could not be changed through me.  As I constantly strive to be a Godly woman,  living with a nonbeliever that doesn’t comprehend or respect my relationship with the Lord, is very difficult.  My husband is a good person.  He figures that if he pays the bills, doesn’t smoke, drink or hang out with his buddies, that should be sufficient.  He even had me thinking it was enough, so I felt guilty and tried to play the role of a perfect wife.  I did all the right things, even if it meant forgetting myself.  He’s still unreceptive to my thoughts or needs.  Most of the time I feel invisible.  Again, like most Christian women married to a nonbeliever —- I prayed, pleaded and cried out to the Lord for guidance!  I thought if my husband had a relationship with God, then I could have completely happiness.  I thought this, only until I read “HOW TO BE A HAPPY WIFE OF AN UNSAVED HUSBAND” by Linda Davis.  After reading this book I realized I was doing it all wrong. Not because Linda says so in her book, but because it all makes sense.  I realized that you can’t change, what doesn’t want to be changed.

I still pray that my husband realizes the need for a relationship with God, but I do not dwell on it or allow it to drag me down.  Linda’s book taught me to grow my own relationship with God, so that I can continue to be happy.  I know now, that my husband will have a relationship with God when the time is right.  I have resorted to the fact that my happiness comes from within me and my faith. –– Now it’s time for you to find WHERE your happiness comes from. No matter what type of relationship you are in, you deserve to be happy!

Never lose hope and don’t try to control what is not in your control.  I learned it the hard way!  If you read “HOW TO BE A HAPPY WIFE OF AN UNSAVED HUSBAND” or other books focused on happiness by Linda Davis, maybe you can find your own answers.  I found mine while living with an unsaved husband.  God bless you Now and Forever!!!! REMEMBER!  God… is the blessed controller of all things, the king over all kings and the master of all masters.  (I Timothy 6:15)

Can You Really Text the Romance Back?

Beyond Sexting?

If you’ve been watching the news, you’ve probably heard of big sports stars, politicians, and others getting in trouble for “sexting” outside their marriages.

But what you probably didn’t know is that there are tens of thousands of women and men around the world using simple little text messages inside their relationships to create amazing romance, intimacy and passion literally at  the push of a button.

Text The Romance Back?

Relationship expert Michael Fiore created a step by step system for using tiny little text messages to create a private “intimate channel” between you and the man or woman in your life… even if you don’t have much time
together (due to kids and jobs) or if your lover doesn’t seem very “romantic” now.

“The great thing about texting is that it’s private and you can do it anywhere” says Fiore. “Just by sending a few tiny little text messages you can ‘wake up’ the romantic center of your partner’s mind… give them a private ‘text massage’, tell them how you really feel, and really create an amazing level of heat… just by pushing a few buttons on your phone.”

Proven To Work On National TV

Fiore was forced to put his money where his mouth is when he was featured on the Valentine’s Day edition of The Rachael Ray Show. Live, in front of millions of viewers, Fiore showed a couple how to use his “romantic texting” techniques to amazing affect. Every woman in the audience sighed and Rachael herself said that Michael gave her “chills.”

 

CONTENTMENT

CONTENTMENT

Why do we worry so much?  We worry about not knowing what’s ahead.  We are anxious about our careers, our friends, our relationships, our partners – the list could go on forever.  Can we really ever be content or worry free?  What would it take to get us there?

Well, I have discovered a secret that works for me! I’ve learned that the only way to truly be completely content is through my Faith.   You see, I have never had much in life, but I have always had just enough.  Sometimes, even a little more than just enough, but somehow, I always found myself wanting more with the excuse that I needed it.  How do you cope when you can’t compete with your neighbor?  Do you get mad? Do you feel it’s unfair? Do you even envy them?  I can sincerely say I have never envied anyone for having more, but sometimes, I have thought it unfair.  I have even found myself asking God, “WHY?  Why do they have more?  Why do they seem to have it so  much easier then I?  Why can they get the latest model vehicle and I still have to drive around in my beat up car?”  Believe me; trying to keep up with the Jones can take an emotional toll on you.  I’ve been there, done that, and it’s not WORTH it!!!!

We begin to lose focus on what should really be important to us and by the time we look back, it’s too late, we realize our lives have flashed before us.  We have nothing to show for and feel empty and unfulfilled.

My relationship with God and my family have taught me to be content.  Sure I’ve made many mistakes, as have most of us, but what has helped me get passed my mistakes, is my faith.   I have learned to recognize my errors, repent, and move forward.   Our relationships with our spouses, our children, our friends, partners,  boyfriends, etc, should be what matters most.

Sure it’s been a struggle for me to let go and be free from anxiety and worry.  Trust me when I say, I still deal with it today.  When I’m feeling the attack and my walls are crumbling around me, I seek out my support group, God, my family, my sister’s in Christ and my closest and most truthful friends.  Those friends that will tell me the truth, not the ones that will tell me what I want to hear!  Thank the Lord for friends.  Sometimes I think, with friends like that, who needs enemies!  Well, like it or not, we need them.  Those are the friends you can count on.  When I begin to “freak out,” as my kids would say - I remember this verse:

PHILIPPIANS 4:11~13  11 -I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.  12 – I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.  I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.  13 – I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

 

I decided to join the women’s study group at my church and they were scrutinizing a book called “Calm My Anxious Heat” by Linda Dillow (A Woman’s Guide to Finding Contentment).  Boy was I in for a real treat.  This book not only spoke to my heart, but it inspired me to write this page.  It tells you, Yes You!! Reading this right now! What the solution is for Calming Your Anxious Heart.  We all have anxiety in our life, but how we deal with it is what makes the difference.  This book will guide you to breaking free from that horrible feeling.  If you want to learn how to truly be content, I recommend you read this book.

God bless you I’ll be writing to you soon.

How To Survive A Break Up

When you breakup with someone that you either love or once loved, it is always going to be a difficult and painful time.  Surviving a break up is something that virtually everyone has to go  through at some point in their lives.  So, if this is your first time trying to cope with a break up, then here are some useful tips that will help you to move forward and end your heartache sooner rather than later.

When working at surviving a break up, don’t depend on your ex to help you get through the breakup.  That means that you will have to stop all contact with your ex and not rely on them for the late night chats or for help to move that huge piece of furniture from one side of the room to the next.  Whatever space your ex filled in your life, you’re going to have to to fill that space with someone or something else.

Surviving a break up means that you have to look forward and not constantly look back.  Of course if your relationship was long-term and you were in love, then you are not going to simply get over the end of that relationship over night. It will take you time to come to terms with what has happened.  You will need to reflect and process the relationship. However, a huge mistake would be if you spent all your spare time thinking about nothing but ‘when you and your ex did this, or when you and your ex did that!’

Get ready to get out and meet some new people. Meeting new people can be a great buzz.  It can help you to see that there is life out there, beyond your ex, and you can be a part of that life. So get out of your dirty sweats and go and talk to some new people.

When you’re surviving a break up, it is very easy to find that you have not been looking after yourself physically.  It could be that you find that you’re eating nothing but junk food and you might even be drinking too much.  Remember, alcohol is a depressant and though it might make you feel much more able to cope with what you are going through in regard to your breakup, come the next morning it will only make you feel low and depressed.

Instead, concentrate on eating well and adding some exercise to your life.  Take one day at a time and before you know it, you will have got through a month and then many months and you will have survived your break up!

What Some Women Know About Men That You Don’t

When it Comes to Men, Some Women Have It…and You Can Too!

by Bob Grant, L.P.C. author of “The Woman Men Adore”

Every day in my counseling office, I hear women say some variation of this:

“In the last few years, I have had relationships with men who, at first, seemed perfect for me.  They were attentive, attractive and fun to be around.  Then suddenly, as if they knew they had reeled me in, they stopped trying.  They stopped calling as much, stopped taking me out and basically stopped the romantic dance that couples do when they are falling in love.  Was it me?  After all, I think I’m attractive, have a good personality and I work out to keep my body in nice shape.  So why then, do I always end up with the men who become “couch potatoes” at my house?  The men who would rather bring a six pack over and watch football all day and then expect me to fix dinner?  Do I suddenly turn into just a “buddy” to them, the girl next door?

I see other women who, frankly, are not as attractive as I am or as thin as I am, who seem to get the “hot” men.  I don’t necessarily mean gorgeous men, but the men who take them to nice restaurants, bring them flowers, take them dancing and, basically, “court” them.  What secrets do they know that I don’t, because they certainly aren’t sharing them?”

Most women think a wonderful relationship is simply about finding the right man. The truth is that those women who have wonderful relationships didn’t necessarily know where to find good men, instead they attracted them. Would you like to learn how to attract and keep a wonderful man? The best way to find out probably isn’t by talking to a woman; instead, a man would be able to give you the secrets to a man’s heart.

I’d like to share with you the secrets that men find irresistible and powerless to resist. The dirty little secret is that having a perfect body isn’t nearly as important as you have been led to believe. You can discover this incredible information by simply clicking here.
