A challenge, you say? Well, yes! I thought this was intriguing when I found it and went through the plan on the Holy Bible app. It’s 9 days and it was good. It gave an exercise each day to help us wives, appreciate our chosen one. You see, when we marry, we make a covenant with God as He designed marriage. It’s not the other way around where you thought that it was an institution of man….no, it states it in Genesis 2:23-24:
23 The man said, “This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman’, for she was taken out of man.” 24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
God realized man’s need for companionship. So, He gave marriage as a gift to Adam when He created Eve. Sometimes, after we have been married a bit, we have thoughts that maybe I didn’t marry the right person or I got married too soon. We all go through it! My husband is 22 years my junior, yes I married someone who could be my son! But God put us together and it works for us. God KNOWS what we need!
When you said ‘I do’, your husband became the right man for you!
You need to learn to love him the way Jesus loves you. You made a commitment for better or worse. There is a requirement: dying to yourself. That means putting his needs above your own. The first exercise is dying to yourself! Just try this challenge, you will be glad you did!
Remember, God has plans for you! Jeremiah 29:11 says,” For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.”
God will not let you down! I pray you will use this to strengthen yourself and your marriage! So, the Holy Spirit wants everyone to download the Holy Bible app on your phone or computer and find this plan “Love Your Husband Challenge from Help Club for Moms.
