PRAYER FOR HIS WIFE

LORD, help me to a good wife.  I fully realize that i don't have what it takes to be one without Your help. Take my selfishness, impatience and irritability and turn them into kindness, long-suffering and the willingness to bear all things. Take my old emotional habits, mindsets, automatic reactions, rude assumptions and self-protective stance, and make me patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. Take the hardness of my heart and break down the walls with Your battering ram of revelation. Give me a new heart and work in me Your love, peace, and joy. I am not able to rise above who I am at this moment. Only You can transform me.

Show me where there is sin in my heart, especially with regard to my husband. I confess the time I've been unloving, critical, angry, resentful, disrespectful, or unforgiving toward him. Help me to put aside any hurt, anger, or disappointment I feel and forgive him the way You do - totally and completely, no looking back.  Make me a tool of reconciliation, peace and healing in this marriage.  Enable us to communicate well and rescue us from the threshold of separation where the realities of divorce begin.

Make me my husband's helpmate, companion, champion, friend, and support.  Help me to create a peaceful, restful, safe place for him to come home to.  Teach me how to take care of myself and stay attractive to him.  Grow me into a creative and confident woman who is rich in mind, soul and spirit.  Make me the kind of woman he can be proud to say is his wife.

I lay all my expectations at Your cross. I release my husband from the burden of fulfilling me in areas where I should be looking to You. Help me to accept him the way he is and not try to change him.  I realize that in some ways he may never change, but at the same time, I release him to change in ways I never thought he could.  I leave any changing that need to be done in Your hands, fully accepting that neither of us is perfect and never will be. Only You, Lord, are perfect and I look to You to perfect us.

Teach me how to pray for my husband and make my prayers a true language of love. Where love has died, create new love between us. Show me what unconditional love really is and hot to communicate it in a way he can clearly perceive.  Bring unity between us so that we can be in agreement about everything.  May thwe God of patience and comfort grant us to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus.  Make us a team, not pursuing separate, competitive, or independent lives, but working together, overlooking each other's faults and weaknesses for the greater good of the marriage. Help us to pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.  May we be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement.

I pray that our commitment to You and to one another will grow stronger and more passionate everyday. Enable him to be the head of the home as You made him to be, and show me how to support and respect him as he rises to that place of leadership.  Help me to understand his dreams and see things from his perspective.  Reveal to me what he wants and needs and show me potential problems before they arise.  Breathe Your life into this marriage.

Make me a new person, Lord. Give me a fresh perspective, a positive outlook, and a renewed relationship with the man You've given me.  Help me see him with new eyes, new appreciation, new love, new compassion and new acceptance. Give my husband a new wife, and let it be me.

3 Things Men Wished Women Knew

THESE ARE TIPS I GOT FROM THE WEB. I didn't save the authors name so im sorry to be using it without their permission. but i still would like to share and maybe...

3 Things Men Wished Women Knew

1) If he says something nice about you, it's insulting if you don't believe him.
When a man says something nice or complimentary, think of it as a gift.  Most men don’t give gifts often.
Making him explain why he said something, or asking him if he really means it is the fastest way to get him to stop trying to say kind things.
The best way to respond… especially if you’re in a playful mood, smile and hold his gaze.

2) You can only get upset to the same degree that you cheer.
It is very frustrating to a man if a woman faintly notices the good things he does, and then becomes very emotional and angry when he does something rude, selfish or indifferent. The man sees her emotional intensity and wonders, “Why didn't I get that same intensity (on the positive side) when I planned that wonderful evening last weekend?”
The best way to respond… You can get upset with a man when he does something wrong, but cheer for him with the same degree of enthusiasm when he does something right. 

3) He's not a mind reader.
He's a a guy. This means he only understands the “meaning b ehind the meaning” during tender moments. When you are upset with him he takes what you say literally. The more intense the disagreement, the more literal he takes what you say.
The best way to respond… When you are upset, talk softer and slower, men find such a woman captivating. No e-mails, no texting. It must be over the phone or even better, in person. Men do not pick up on social cues nearly as well as women do. Therefore, when you are having a disagreement or an important discussion you want to make certain he understood what you truly meant, and not leave it up to chance by believing he will automatically “get” what you are attempting to convey.

“God is blessing my marriage. M

“God is blessing my marriage. My marriage is growing stronger. My 
marriage is getting more blessed. God is using me to bless my spouse. 
I give my spouse happiness, blessing, and strength. I lift up my 
spouse. I encourage my spouse. Through me, my spouse sees God’s love. 
Through me, my spouse experiences God’s faithfulness. And God is 
blessing my spouse. My spouse is my best friend, my support, my 
wisdom, my encourager, and my lover. And Love is increasing. Service 
for one another is growing. Forgiveness, humility, and understanding 
flow like a river in my marriage. Old wounds are being healed. Bonds 
between us are getting stronger and deeper.”
