2009-10-16T19:41:17.344-05:00

What a cool idea!

C= Cherish
F= Focus--I often notice that I am not really focusing my attention on my husband, but am thinking of all that needs to get done. I'm sure he feels more loved when I actually focus on his needs.
L= Listen
R= Respect--When I really respect my husband, everything goes better.
R= Relax--I think it is important to relax together and have fun. Also, to relax our expectations and the pressure we put on ourselves. That makes it much easier to be intimate.

Thanks for the opportunity to participate.

R - Respect & Rhythm

F =Flirt *****
Me & my husband have been together 13 years,BUT only been saved 5 years together,:o) 5 years ago GOD put it in our hearts to flirt with each other ,not in a way of ugly, but to just let eachother know we dont get old to eachother, & to let everyone around us know GOD can put a family together,

Our kids are not to crazy about it,hehehe..
But my parents never even kissed with us kids around,I grew up thinking its a bad thing,
But not anymore !,its important to show your love..

P=PRAYER**** A family that pray's together stay's together.

T=TIME**** taking time once aday to let eachother know what they mean to you,we are not promised tomorrow..

2009-10-16T01:27:38.247-05:00

AFFECTIONATE- always show affection and let others see…as ministers we want our congregation to see how madly in love we are.

BOLDLY go where no woman has gone before. Treat your man to something new…which leads me to C…

CREATIVE- do not…and I mean DO NOT let intimacy become routine and boring. Get creative…I know you can do it.

DATE night…once in awhile you just need to go on a date…hey , maybe even stop on a dark side road and make out!

EXAMPLE- be a godly example of healthy marriage for those who come behind you…such as your children.

FAKERS not allowed…no faking the big O ladies…that doesn’t help anything. Wait for it…wait for it…: )

GO to him, don’t wait for him to start things.

HELP each other to find fulfillment.

V - Vigilant [dict: keenly watchful to detect danger] - our enemy is on the prowl and hates Christian marriages! 1 Peter 5:8-9 The devil is depicted here as a prowling lion--quietly lurking and waiting to pounce when it spots weak prey. But his attacks can be resisted simply by standing firm in the faith, and remembering that we're not alone in being targeted by his wiles. (from http://www.gospel.com/topics/roaring+lion)
