Marriage

Service
If you love your spouce serve them.  Do something nice for your spouce without them asking you.  Your partner will know and appreciate that you care about them.  I called the motocycle repair men and yelled at them for not picking up my husbands bike yesterday without him asking me to.  I do this because I know my husband enjoys riding and that brings me joy when he is happy.  Doing service for others brings happiness unto yourself.

Today I took some me time.  I learned last year when my friend treated me to a pedicure that I love getting them.  I decided that I can have two a year one at the begining of summer and then in the winter time just to keep my toe nails looking good.  I learned many years ago that if I want to feel good about myself then I need to look my best.  Getting my pedicure helps me do that so I can be 100% for my husband and kids.

Children

Being a mother is amazing.  My almost 10 month old is trying to crawl and took his first steps along the tub while holding onto it today.  It just fills me with joy to see him hit these milestones.  I am grateful to my husband and God for allowing me to be a mother.

I have learned a few things in the last 3 days.  I HATE being sick.  Besides not feeling good, I struggle with the fact that I don't feel like giving my 100% to my husband and kids.  But as the mother and wife, I know there are things that have to be done.  Cooking, cleaning, and children need to be taken care of.  Another problem I am having is my husband had us all go off soda last year, which is good for our health, but whem your sick a Sprite sure helps with the quessy feeling in the stomach.

Children

Last night my husband and I were disscusing potty training.  I dont know what exactly set him off but he stated "I don't understand why people think potty training is so hard."  We had our first son potty trained by 2 yrs old.  With occasional night time accidents (maybe 5) for 1 year after that.  Sorry to be blunt but parents are just lazy now.  It is about the parent being dedicated to teaching their child what the potty is and making them go on the potty every 2 hrs or so.  That is how simple potty training is parents put your child on the potty give them a treat if they use it (positive reinforcement). They learn quick if you are dedicated.

Self

Self esteem is very important.
There are two things that you need to know before you can truely devote yourself to another.  They are to have a love of your creator and know that without God you would be no where.  The second is confidence in who you are and a love for yourself.  If you dont love God and you don't love yourself then you will never be truely able to love any one else.

Communication

Continuing with communication post from before.  Do you communicate in bed with your spouse.  I find it very important to know what your husband/ wife enjoys while being intimate,  and vice versa.  Speak up women let them know what you need to be satisfied.  Communicating in bed is extremely important in having a health relationship with your spouse.

Children

So, yesterday my husband took us to the circus.  I informed my grandfather whom we live with of this activity and that we would be gone in the evening.  He prossed to get angry about how he hates that type of activity and said he was glad it wasn't him going.  As parents we do things for our children that we don't typically enjoy.  This is not the case for many parents today.  Parents seem to be selfish and uncaring about their childrens needs and desires.  Children today often have to much parenting or their parents are neglectful.  Good luck to you all on finding a good balance.  And try and take your kids to the circus.

Children

Today is Father's Day!  This is a hard day for many in the society that we live in.  Familys aren't thought of to last forever and children have broken families.  My family is blessed we blieve that families last for ever and parenthood is honored.  My two sons are blessed to have a DAD who loves them and they get to share their love for him.  My boys got their DAD a card form Walgreens that plays the music from Star Wars when they go into the club. It says he has his own band of scoundrals and misfits.  He loved it.  Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there.

     I went to a Slumber Party (marital enhancement products) last night by Carylne Bowerman.  In a relationship ME time is always important.  I enjoy attending these parties because I recognize the importance of having a health intimate relationship with my husband.  Also, we both know that letting the women have some time she can chat with other women and not worry about the home is quality time that she needs.

Marriage

So I am new to blogging and in this world that is pretty sad.  So I have been trying to write a marriage book and instead descided to write on here.

Step 1 to Happy Marriage

Communication, like we already knew that though,  but how many people in their marriage aren't communicating.  I try to talk to my husband about everything except his presents.  So, that brings up Fathers Day this weekend,  I was going to get my husband a bow and some arrows.  But, he brought one home on his own the same day I was planning on getting him one.  Talking with your spouce is important it is the bases for all your relationship.
