Married Monday: Going on Adventures

   

   We have all heard that you should could continue to date your spouse long after your married, and I wrote out a list of dates that you could go on. What happens though when life starts to get in your way and date nights sometimes fall to the side? Well then it is time to go on an adventure together. Once a month or so get out and try something new together. This is even better than a weekly or monthly date night.

   Welcome to the last week in this series, I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am. This week we are talking about being honest and dependable. Honest is defined as free of deceit and untruthful, sincere. Dependable is being truthful and reliable.  Now these are two very basic traits of being a decent human so I am going to try and explain the importance of it in your marriage.

Married Monday: Character Traits of A Good Wife Part 3 Patient and Considerate

   Welcome to part 3 of the character traits of a good wife series today we will be talking about being patient and considerate. As I did last week let’s start with defining the traits. Having patience means having the capacity to tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.  Being considerate means being careful not to cause inconvenience or hurt to others.  So lets figure out what exactly that has to do with being a wife.

Married Monday: Character Traits of a Good Wife Part 2 Compassionate and Generous

Married Monday: Character Traits of a Good Wife Part 1

    

   This month for the Married Monday Post I am going to be breaking down character traits of a good wife. In elementary school each month we had a character word, we went over it in class, our principle would tell us what it meant during our morning announcements each week. These words after spending 5 years in the school became a part of who we were. While subbing I have found that most schools don’t take the time to teach these traits to the students, and it shows a difference in how the kids grow up.

   I went and found my old list of words that was sent home with us way back then and picked the ones I believe make a difference in life as a wife. I also asked my husband, and some other bloggy friends asked their husbands, then I narrowed it down to these six words that will be broke down the next three weeks.

These traits are.. insert drumroll here…

Compassionate and Generous

Patient and Considerate

Honest and Dependable

   Before we get started next week I would love to hear how you think these words apply and if you have any other traits that you (or your husband) think are very important. 
Have a wonderful week!

Married Monday: Comparing the 1950's Wife to Today's Wife

   

   Today I want to talk a little about what being a housewife meant in the 50s and how it compares to today’s wife.  These were taken from a 1950s Home Economics Textbook in a section called “The Good Wife’s Guide”.  For each of their guidelines I will share a take on it in terms of being a wife today.

Married Monday: Being Friends With Your Spouse

   It’s more like Married Tuesday this week but that doesn’t sound as good. We went home for the weekend, it was relatively last minute and I did not have a chance to get this post wrote in time, but it was worth it we had a great time being home with our parents.

   You love your spouse, we all do, but do you like them?, the majority of the time? Well I sure hope you like them, being in like is quite important I believe, because that means you want to spend time with them and be friends. Yup that’s right you should be friends with your husband or wife, shocker right. I think though people forget this and go on letting day to day life get in the way and soon they are just roommates that do love each other but don’t really connect on a friendship level.  Being in that place is not somewhere I want to be, why? Because I want to be connected to my husband always and make an effort to quickly fix it if I feel that friendship slipping away.

Being a Proverbs 31 Wife Part 2

Welcome back to the Being a Proverbs 31 Wife series part 2. This week I am doing the same as last week and breaking down the Proverbs by section and explaining it.

Married Monday: Being A Proverbs 31 Wife Part 1

 

   What does the bible say in Proverbs about being a wife, or a godly woman? This is for wives but if you are single and live on your own this can still apply to keeping your house and living your life.

   Today I will show you the scripture by section then break it down.  From New Living Translation Proverbs 31:10-21.

Married Monday: Personal and Together Time

   As I sit here watching Hubby play a game on his Xbox I’m thinking how this is a good thing, that we can sit together and be together but be doing separate things.  This has not always been the case probably right until we were engaged, for some reason or another, we always had to be doing the same thing which got annoying and hard to find stuff we wanted to both do. But now it is nice to be able to do separate things together.

Married Monday: Roles in Marriage

 Hey guys I am going to start making my Monday post about being married. I hope to make this a series that hopefully helps someone, but also just lets me talk about whats in my head and my experience as I grow as a wife.

  I want to start with talking about marriage and the roles of a husband and wife. Now let me start off by saying I am no expert or am even good at doing my role but I have researched a lot and have seen what the bible says on it.

I'm Married!!!??!!

   Thank you for giving my little blog a try. I have attempted to start many different ones over the years and always seem to taper off after a few entries that really weren’t even that good.  The difference between those and this one is mainly this time I want to write and I want to share my recipes, thoughts, and ideas, I want to share what I feel starting this incredible new journey of being a wife. This time I want to stick to it, that’s the biggest difference, and I will this time. 

   Well as of the time I write this post I have been married for all of three weeks, and I must say I had no idea the change it really would be.  We had been together four years and two months the day we said I Do so I thought not much would be different other than living with each other and being together a lot more of the day. Well really that is what changed but a lot came with that.
