Greetings Prayer Warriors,
As women have become stronger, more independent, self-supportive,
and fulfilled, conversely (and somewhat in response) men seem to have become
more complacent, less motivated, less protective, more dependent. However, in fair balance, some women have
focused so much on their career development that they have lost sight of the
beauty and importance of motherhood. As a result, they have become absentee
mothers similar to men throughout the decades who were so focused on their
careers that they became absentee fathers.
Stating the obvious, this is not healthy for children let alone a marriage. A relationship suffers when a couple unyokes,
becoming two people with individual goals.
You husbands should live with your wives in understanding, showing honor to the weaker female sex, since we are joint heirs of the gift of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. Finally, … be of one mind, sympathetic, loving toward one another, compassionate, humble. Do not return evil for evil, or insult for insult; but on the contrary, a blessing, because to this you were called, that you might inherit a blessing. 1 Peter 3:7-9
The Lord has a beautiful plan for each one of us that
incorporates the beauty of our womanhood or manhood. We were made different for a purpose. When
we fulfill God’s will for us, 1+1=3.
Everyone should live as the Lord has assigned, just as God called each one. 1 Corinthians 7:17
Let us pray that we allow ourselves some daily quiet time
with the Lord and ask Him how we can be all that he created us to be. Whatever
he may have called you to, may He be the third person in your marriage and show
you how you can glorify him by fulfilling his plan for your marriage.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Prayer is a precious gift. Pray for one another. Pass it on!
