65~ A Man's View of Wives & Marriage ~ An Interview with My Husband

We all know that men and women are different. We think differently, respond to things differently, and have different wants and needs. Add to that, the fact that each individual man and woman also has different personalities, as well as different likes and dislikes. Trying to understand the opposite sex is nearly impossible.
 
Today, I am interviewing my husband to see if we can maybe understand our men just a little bit better by finding out what a man’s view is on wives and marriage.

64 ~ Have You Lost Hope in Your Marriage? Where True Hope Comes From and How to Rest In It.

All of us can lose hope at one time or another. When our life or our marriage hasn’t turned out the way we planned and we feel that it will never change. When we have tried and tried to make the necessary changes, but nothing seems to work.
 
We can lose hope when the problem that we’re facing seems impossible to get through. When it seems that there is just no way past it. No way to heal from the hurt or the pain. No way to move forward.
 
But with God there is always hope! Because in Him, nothing is impossible. Our hope in man will fail us at some point. But the true hope found in God, never fails. 
 
If you have lost hope and are in despair. If you don’t see how your life, marriage, or husband will ever change or how you will ever be free from the situation that you are in. Then stick around and listen carefully as I share about how to find rest and peace in the true hope of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

63 ~ Spiritual Warfare ~ Is Your Husband Suddenly Changing? Learn Why & How to Fight For Your Marriage

We don’t understand it when our husbands begin to change. When instead of being in church or with the family, they want to hang out with friends all night or shut themselves off in a room with their computer or phone.
 
We are hurt by this so we beg and plead for them to change, to go to counseling or whatever it takes, because we just want our husbands back.
 
However, what we are seeing is often times the outward affects of a much deeper problem concerning the heart. Today we’re chatting about spiritual warfare and how you, as his wife, can fight for your husband and your marriage.
