Attempting to stay optimistic in a pessimistic world



Whenever your Spouse or anyone is negative toward you, do not allow their pessimistic attitude to take your joy away. Instead, repay them with kindness by building them up with loving and kind words.

Ephesians 4:32 states, We are to be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you".

We are supposed to be imitating God like behavior, which means having an optimistic attitude and showing love toward all of our brother and sisters in Christ.

Speak kind words, think positive thoughts and show love towards everyone. Always live your life with joy in your heart!

Showing your Husband Respect

If you ask your Husband what he wants the most from you, chances are he will say, "Respect"! In Ephesians 5:33 apostle Paul encourages Husbands to love their wives and wives to respect their husbands. Paul knew that husbands need to be reminded that their wife should love and respect them. Could we as wives slip out of respecting our husbands and begin nagging and focusing on their weaknesses? Respect is what a husband wants; it's what a marriage needs.

To have a great marriage, you must remain sexually active with your Spouse! Do you know that many marital problems can be related to not having your needs met sexually? Most couples face the frustration of having one spouse with a consistently stronger sex drive than the other . The Bible tells us how we can manage our sex lives in 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
