Where to start with this post…I guess I'll start by saying I'm not here to give you my own advice! I am here to share the advice & tips I've been given by many others that have helped me along the way!!
One tip that has stood out to me for many years was a friend, Patty Crampton, who shared what she had been told, "Never complain about your spouse or your boss, because YOU chose THEM." So very true!!!
Genesis 2:24 says "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."
Ephesians 5:22 & 23 "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands."
Paul tells us in Ecclesiastes 4:9 that "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil."
These verse are from the English Standard Bible. Check the link below for some great options!
The Bible is definitely the best place to go for sound marriage advice; after all, God created marriage. Check out Genesis 2 for more.
I also enjoy books of many genres, although over the last many years they have been very intentional categories. Durning my 10+ years of running my own at home businesses, I read lots of self-help books, books by authors who were top ranking in their companies, people I wanted to emulate. In the last few years I've read many books on marriage, parenting, leadership, and medical issues/treatments things like that. All things that pertain to our life in the moment!
One I read a few years ago that was wonderful is "You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity," by Francis and Lisa Chan. I really enjoy Francis style of writing. He and Lisa are very upfront in their book, not sugar coated and biblically backed.
Click the link below to check out that and some of Francis' other books too.
