Remember when You met the man of your dreams and the idea of pleasing him was all you could think of, to the point of exhausting every friend with details?
WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT GIRL?!
You read right, I asked what happened to that girl who looked at the man of her dreams and said...
" I'll wear my hair down so he can run his fingers through it or should I wear it up cause he likes that also? Maybe I should where his favorite perfume every time and spray it in his truck so he won't forget me when he leaves. Next time he calls I'll invite him over and fix him his favorite meal and be his dessert to nibble on later (giggles and goose bumps) I wonder if he would like this color on me..or maybe he would rather go out, I'll have to ask?"
For some it's never changed and others who laugh as they eye roll at these antics of love, they don't know what their missing out on ;0/
"Why am I questioning this?"
As of late I've been exposed to some unhappy couples who don't seem to know what's missing or what happened...and some who just have given up!
I've posted recently on praying together.
Some unfortunately say this is not enough and unable to accept this truth choose the rocky road. (Love the ice cream hate the path!)
So here's another approach that may help tweak the stubbornness...
Go back to the beginning...try it again...practice it over and over with everything and not just a day or so!!!
GO BACK to the beginning and romance him...where his favorite color or perfume add to his day DO NOT complain for anything...only encourage him.
Go BACK TO the beginning and surprise him with his favorite dinner and *dessert* even if it's you!
GO BACK TO THE beginning because that is where it all started as you inspired him to marry you, give his life to you and then share with you what he had to give!
GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING, it's where you need to go in order to start over (no strings attached or unkept promises there, no broken hearts or deep hurts exists there, go back and start over.)
You get it now..you want that love cup filled?
And as your practicing this... add a time of prayer for your loved one to listens as you ask the DHF to bless him and help you in being all he needs.
You will be blessed by what happens next...

Let's romance our men!
Great post with good advice.
I'm all about that! It always takes my hubby by surprise when I go the extra mile.
Hey-did you email me your address? I had a little problem w/email yesterday and didn't get it. I know you need that cookbook!
Great post! I am blessed with a great marriage, and work off two pieces of advice I've received:
1) I once heard that marriages that work are those where each person feels they have more than they deserve.
2) I also heard (from a church-sponsored marriage retreat) that marriages work when each person is concerned with pleasing the other. At first I was sort of shocked - it sounded so old fashioned to me. Then I tried it. If you do things to make your spouse happy just for the sake of making him happy, you better believe A) the atmosphere of your home is happier and B) he's going to reciprocate. Its a cycle that never has to end!
I love this! Love the advice!
It is true that we just naturally stop doing some of those things we did when we were dating and first married - I bet they miss it! Thanks :)
You rock, woman. :) Awesome post.
