For the next few weeks I'm linking up with Courtney over at Women Living Well. She has a great Valentine themed marriage challenge and I'm eager to jump on board. If you are looking for some creative ways to add some spice {or healing} to your marriage... check it out!
Week 1 challenge is to PRAISE my guy verbally. I need to look for opportunities and do it often! Here is my battle plan {because you know by nature we want to grump and complain... at least, I do}:
-Write a sweet email to him at work while the girls are napping today, detailing all the ways I'm thankful for him. Not just "Thanks for working", but creative things I've observed in him over the years that I am so grateful for.
- Write an I LOVE YOU note on his FB page. {he kinda hates FB...but, has one :) }
- Not utter one grumpy word tonight when he gets home from work. THIS IS THE HARD ONE. No matter how naughty the girls are today, or how tired I am, or how forgetful he may be about one little detail... I won't speak a grumpy word. Pray for me? Instead - I will be attentive to the details of his day {if he wants to chat about them}, praise him in front of our kids for working hard all day, and make his night special by not bossing him about. :)
So thankful for my godly, loving, husband... can't wait to take time and really THINK about this challenge.
Already enjoying this challenge! Anyone else in?

Count me in Mandi. I saw this yesterday, because I love women living well, hadn't had a chance to look at it yet, but want to do the challenge. Thanks for the reminder, praying for you.
What a super fun challenge!!
