SEVEN THINGS YOU SHOULD GIVE YOUR SPOUSE DAILY

When it comes to giving, many married people are generous to everybody except their spouses. There are seven things you should give your spouse daily – not weekly, monthly or annually. They are things you must give your spouse daily. Let’s see them:

1. Give Your Spouse A TOUCH

One of the ways to bond with your spouse is to give him or her a touch. We have encouragement touch, affirmation touch, healing touch, apology touch, and we have sexual touch. Study your partner and know what touch to give at a particular time.

If you want God to touch your marriage, touch your spouse. Don’t let today go without you touching your spouse!

2. Give Your Spouse SPACE

As much as you need to bond with your spouse and be together for daily intimacy, communication, affection, planning, etc., you still need to give your spouse his or her space. There is time for couples’ prayers, time for couples’ bonding. Also there is time for personal prayer, personal meditation, personal rest, personal planning, etc.

Don’t choke your spouse. Don’t be over-possessive and over-demanding to your spouse. Stop unnecessary policing and monitoring. Give your spouse the space they need when they need it.

3. Give Your Spouse A CALL/CHAT

Some people can chat with all the contacts on their phone and all the people on their Face book friends list but they will never chat with or call their spouse all through the day.

Chatting with or calling your spouse in a day at work is a way of saying, “Dear, despite my busy schedule, I have you in mind. I am thinking about you.”

Make sure you send a chat, or give a call, to your spouse today. Make it a habit; it is beneficial to both of you. Nobody can be tired of receiving a caring chat or a call from someone they love.

4. Give Your Spouse A HUG

Hugging is fast disappearing in many marriages today. Research has proved that hugging is one of the emotional needs of every human being. It is the scarcity of spousal hugs that makes many men indiscriminately hug ladies who are not their wives. Many women too crave for hugs and unwittingly allow every Tom and Jerry to hug them because their husbands are not giving them hugs.

Hugs can be given in the morning, or at night, but let no day pass without you hugging your spouse. It is one valuable thing you must give your spouse. It could be a welcoming hug, a goodbye hug, an appreciating hug, or an affirmative hug.

Hugging is a non-verbal means of communication. Use it well. Don’t let your husband or wife crave for a hug from strangers when you are still alive. Hug passionately! Hug romantically.

5. Give Your Spouse A SMILE

God smiles on a home when couples smile at each other. A smile is a way of telling your spouse, “You delight me,” “Your presence amuses me,” “I am pleased with you.”

Frowning at your spouse is not a thing that should last a whole day. One of the ways to know your marriage is SMELLING is when you are not SMILING with each other. Smile. It is one of the best gifts you can give your spouse in a day.

I don’t like people who are not generous with their smiles. It is free. You don’t need to pay to smile. Just relax your muscles and smile. Couples, please smile! Keep smiling! To prevent your marriage from smelling, keep smiling with your spouse!!!

6. Give Your Spouse PEACE OF MIND

The home is the endpoint of everything we do daily. If you are a doctor, you can’t sleep in the hospital all the days of your life. You will need to come home. If you are an engineer, you can’t sleep in the site everyday. If you are a lawyer, you can’t sleep in the court everyday. Even as a pastor, you can’t be in the church 24/7. We all must go back home.

Home is the endpoint. Therefore, if your spouse will be excited to come home, it must be a peaceful home. Stop nagging, stop fighting, Stop insulting, stop abusing, stop threatening, and stop humiliating your spouse. Give him/her rest of mind. Give your wife rest of mind.

Be the head of your wife sir, not the headache of your wife. Madam, be a wife to your husband, not a ‘knife’. Blessed are the couples who give each other peace of mind daily!

7. Give Your Spouse A PRAYER

No matter how wealthy or highly connected you are, there are things you cannot do for your spouse. You are limited. One of the ways to show love to your spouse is to commit him/her to the unlimited God. Say a word of prayer for your spouse daily.

Every other thing may fail and may not work, but no force can withstand the power of prayer. You can’t heal your spouse, only God can heal him/her. You can’t lengthen the days of your spouse. Only God can do that. You can’t save your spouse. You can’t take away addiction and evil habits from your spouse , only God can do that for him/her..

Life is all about staying motivated, encouraged happy nd discipled

THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU

Find out what...

So I had some oranges for the night but, before I could enjoyed it, I needed to peel of the bark completely to get to the juicy part.

It was stressful and I was beginning to lose interest but the thought of the sweet juices kept me going.

I could easily had cut the oranges in to two to suck out the juice or peel them roughly and that would have affected the taste.

This is the case with most of us. We want something but do not want to work for it or we get tired too quickly while working for it.

From the moment I realized that nothing good comes easy, I had a mindset shift.

There is commensurate amount of efforts required from you to perfect what God has already done.

To harvest bountifully, you have to plant some seeds for God to send rain on, make the whether favorable to and cause the rapid and sustained multiplication of the seeds.

To be found as a woman, you have to be somewhere, doing whatsoever. As a man too, to find a wife, you will be going about for a thing and then boom, she appears.

To eat food, you must first cook by assembling the ingredients and putting them together one after the other.

There is a Price to pay for the glory. Imagine, for our Salvation, Jesus needed to come and die.

I am taking this time to cite all of these scenarios so you can understand this properly. To be gainfully employed, you need to prepare a CV, you need to apply to organisations and wait for call ups.

To be healed, you will need to pray to God or go to the hospital and follow through with taking you medications.

The grace of God that is available to us does not stop or invalidate work. Also, you cannot love God alone by saying it, you must demonstrate it by working.

Beloved, you can become anything you desire if you do your part well. There is always something you can do to get what you want.

You might not get it right at once, However, little and consistent efforts over time yield greatly. Do not give up now.

Do what you can by giving your best always and leave the rest. GOD IS FAITHFUL. He will not abandon you. He is a rewarder of diligence.

I hope this encourages you today?

A soul that's unshakeable, forever secure.

Courage rises stronger, through it all.

A beacon of hope, that guides us to our pace.
