How to be a Stress Free Wife/Mom



When you're a Wife/Mom that works, you should make sure that nobody suffers from your work schedule. Your family needs to always feel that they benefit from you having a job, because they are your priority.

To make sure that your family stays happy, you need to organize your life. Reviewing your priorities first thing every morning, will help to keep everything in perspective. Keep in mind that your marriage, family and home are more important than a job!



Daily

Everyday spend time touching base with your Husband and children. Enjoy talking over breakfast or dinner. It does not matter what you eat, as long as the family takes time to talk and pray with one another. Everyone in the family, may need to wake up earlier than usually or move things around in their schedule, but it will be worth it. It is very important to have quality family time, as much as possible. 

Lunch Break

If you work during the day, it can be difficult organizing your family life. However, you can utilize your lunch break to accomplish many things. Using your lunch break wisely can beneficial to your family! Do what you can during your break, such as; make Doctor's and Dental appointments, shop, bible study, work out, pay bills, haircut and even spend time with your Husband. There is lots that can be done during your lunch break, so that you can have more quality time with your family. Doing task during your lunch break does not have to compromise you eating during your lunch break. Make sure to eat something, even if its an energy bar or fruit. 

After Work

When your day is finished at work, be sure to leave work at work! Your family needs your attention at home. Allow them to have a nice evening with you, without any of the stress from work. This does not mean that you cannot talk about how your day went at work, but be sure to keep the drama at work. You should spend time with God in prayer before you come home to your family, that way you can have the help of God to escape the stress from work. A sample prayer that you can use is:

Lord,

Thank you that my day at work is over! I am grateful that I had the opportunity to use my skills to help my employer. I know all my hard work will pay off and I will reap the rewards from my employer. Please help me to release any disputes, stress, confusion, emotions or disappointments that may have taken place during the day. I pray this prayer in Jesus' name. Amen 



Key things to remember


  • As a Christian, everything you do needs to be done excellently and that includes your job.
  • Set out the necessary items that you will need in the morning, before bed. -Backpacks, cereal boxes, lunches, Bible, devotions, keys, cellphones, and any other items that you and your family may need for the day.
  • As a Christian Wife, it is the time you spend with your Husband before and after work that is the greatest and most joyful time of the day!
  • Get a good night sleep, because if you are not fully rested you are not going to be any help to anyone. 

Once you are home, enjoy your family. Always remember to give them your best and thank God for blessing you with your beautiful family!

Showing your Husband Respect

Image
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. Wives who show their husband respect is allowing her Husband to become all that he ought to be. To understand how a wife is supposed to treat her husband, read Ephesians 5:33. "Let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband [that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates and esteems him; and that she defers him, praises him. loves and admires him exceedingly]." Look again at the verse, consider each phrase and relate it to how you treat your Husban

Fulfilling Sexual Intimacy in Marriage

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. The verse states that couples should make love whenever the other Spouse wants to have sex. That means even if you are not in the mood at the

Loving your Spouse Unconditionally

Loving your Spouse Unconditionally Now that you have been married for a few months, have you been asking yourself what happened to my fairy tale?  Almost every woman wants the fairy tale to continue after the wedding, but reality sets in after financial problems arrive, small disagreements or everyday life happens.  When these things happen we begin noticing our Spouse's weaknesses. You start asking yourself, "Where is the person that I married and what happened to my perfect marriage"? After months of being married to your Spouse reality sets in, and you begin to notice some of your Spouse's weaknesses. It's easy to begin doubting your marriage and to start thinking that you could have made a mistake.  These kind of thoughts can be dangerous, because once you allow negative thinking to enter your mind, you are opening the door to temptation.  The enemy loves it when you start doubting your marriage, so do not allow it to happen. When you f
