I am excited to announce a new feature here at Heavenly Homemakers – Healthy Marriage Tips from A to Z. This is a series of posts that we’ll run once a week for the next 26 weeks, until we work all the way through the alphabet.
What I hope you’ll enjoy about Healthy Marriage Tips from A to Z is that my husband Matt and I are teaming up to write these posts. They’ll be presented from his perspective and from mine, whether we happen to think the same way about each topic or not. Of course we always agree on every topic. Except for when we don’t. ;)
Our marriage isn’t perfect, but we have been blessed with what we feel is a healthy marriage. This is a gift from God, and we work hard together to keep our marriage healthy. Both Matt and I have a heart to encourage healthy marriage relationships in those around us as well. That is how the idea for this series of posts was born.
Later this week, we’ll be back with the first post of this series – a topic beginning with the letter A. What do you think we’ll start talking about first? Anger – Argue – Aggravate – Aggressive? Um, no. We don’t really plan on giving you tips on Aggravating Your Spouse. We’ve got a much more positive topic in mind.
Avoid? Awful? Against?
You can keep guessing, but I’m not gonna tell you our topic. But it sure is fun thinking of A words that don’t describe a healthy marriage. :)
Aftershock, Awkward, Annoying…
I am excited about this! Always trying to improve my marriage. We are still in the beginning: 4 years on Wednesday! :)
I can’t wait! We are working on 15 years and are always looking for helpful hints!
“We don’t really plan on giving you tips on Aggravating Your Spouse” Maybe you could use this as a springboard…How to deal with your natural tendencies aggravate your spouse? I love to move the furniture around, all of it 2-3 times a year. It drives him crazy at first,then he gets used to it and eventually says he likes it that way….then I get an urge to move things again!
Will this be in addition to your other series? The name is escaping me at the moment. lol I’m excited for this series as well. Tips are ALWAYS appreciated!
This will be very inspiring, as are many other posts on your website!
Affection? :)
Looking forward to reading along with you!
Ha…I was actually taking a “time-out” from an argument with my husband when I read this post. It made me laugh but it also made me realize that maybe he was just being annoying and it was late and maybe I should just forget about it and make up with him. After all, as you have recently written, “your spouse is not your enemy”. I’ve thought about this a lot over the last few weeks and I think that it’s important to remember as we go through our day and sometimes things happen and it’s not all hugs and kisses. Looking forward to reading more!
Affirm? :)
Yea! I’m looking forward to these posts as my husband and I are nearly our 7th anniversary, we’ve allowed our children and his ministry steal precious importance from our marriage. I second Terri’s guess for “A is for Affection!”
