She wakes up early and prepares breakfast.
She gets ready and says goodbye to her husband.
She takes the kids to school and heads off to work.
She gets out of work, picks up the kids from school and goes home.
She bathes the kids, helps them with their homework, prepares dinner, washes clothes, sets the table for the kids to eat, washes the dishes, tucks the kids in bed and throws herself on the couch exhausted.
Her husband arrives… and that’s where the danger lies…
Her husband is tired and expects a warm welcome.
The tired wife thinks that it’s nonsense for him to complain about anything because her life isn’t easy and he doesn’t seem to get it!
She didn’t have a chance to shower and she reeks of the chicken she prepared for dinner. She’s in a bad mood due to her tiredness.
Many couples begin to misunderstand each other in situations not too different from this one.
They begin to live like strangers, both complaining (to themselves) that the other just doesn’t understand. ..
How long will they bear this situation?
It won’t be long until one of the two begins to consider a divorce.
This situation can change and it all depends on you!
Dare- Task#16
“She wakes up early and prepares breakfast. She gets ready and says goodbye to her husband with a kiss. She takes the kids to school and heads off to work. She gets out of work, picks up the kids from school and goes home.
She bathes the kids, helps them with their homework, washes the clothes, sets the table for the kids to eat, washes the dishes, tucks the kids in bed and runs to take a shower (she’s tired and in a bit of a bad mood but she knows that her marriage is worth the effort) and wants to smell nice for when her husband arrives.
She hears the rattle of keys at the door and rushes over to welcome her husband with a warm smile and yet another kiss.
She serves him dinner, they eat together and talk (bringing up problems is forbidden.)
They go to the room and she continues to talk to him while he showers (bringing up problems is forbidden,) they go to bed and love each other.”
Your task will be to try and fit into this role as best as possible.
Yes, it’s a sacrifice but if you sacrifice, soon he will do the same for you.
Try to apply this to your marriage daily. But, beware! If you put this into practice you will run the risk of transforming your marriage into a blessing!
Working on this very much.

This is true, cause i used to complain almost about everything "oh, you sent too much," was one of them, not realizing that he was tired but now ever since i stopped complaining everything is so good and he really appreciates it when i do for him something without complaining.

Hi Mrs Nanda, when is a "good" time to bring up problems?! On the weekends? Only if he asks?!
ReplyDeleteIt makes total sense not to bring it up during the "quality time", I had never thought of that but now I wonder when to bring it up :)
(by the way, I'm not married, but just preparing myself ;p)
