Peace over Perfection

Challenge
-Surrender to God and your husband.  

You don't know what God is using in your husbands life.  

Even if your husband makes what you think is a bad decision, let God teach him.  

It is not your place to nag, rebuke, correct, nudge, suggest, or question your man about his choices.

If he asks for your advice, give it to him honestly.

If he does not ask you, or even seem to consider you at all in his decision, surrender and submit.

God is in charge.

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Eph 5:22 (KJV)

 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7 (KJV)

Expectations

Challenge

-Try to find out what your husband expects when he comes home and apply what you know to please him the next time he arrives

e.g. no clutter, the radio on/off, a meal on the table, the kids greeting him, the kids playing quietly in another room, his favorite channel on t.v., candles burning, you busily getting dinner ready, you not doing anything and just sitting with him, etc.

Give him time to think about it if you ask him.

If he gives you no answer, just focus on trying to please him and his 5 senses.  

My Hero...

-Write down 3 things that you can dwell on to help make you think of your husband as your hero.  e.g. He desires to provide well for you, he is chosen by God to be your leader, he bought you _____, he listened that one time when you really needed to talk to someone, he lets you stay home with the kids, he lets you work in your desired field, he lets you put your cold feet on him, he still loves you, etc.
