Loving Your Husband


Sarah's words this week (see below) are good ones.  With a birthday tomorrow, it's finally time to admit that I am an "older woman".  And as such, I have the responsibiity and the pleasure of training younger women.  Training them in what?  In loving their husbands, for one thing.  Isn't it easy to love your husband before he becomes your husband, when new love carries you over the minor irritations and issues, when just hearing his voice on the other end of the phone gets your heart pounding faster?  
And then you marry, and you have to learn to live with each other . . . ouch.  Your worst side comes out, and so does his.  

This is where weekly dates come in, a focus on serving this man you've married, and seeing him daily with the eyes of new love.  (I know . . . we're about to become empty nesters!)   

Each of us married a sinner, and so did each of our husbands.  In this vein, we are offering a women's Sunday school class this fall on The Excellent Wife, working through the joys and trials of serving and loving the sinners we live with.  I promise a gossip-free and gripe-free atmosphere in which to discuss the inner workings of our marriages.  

Please join us.
