I’m teaching a sports/math summer enrichment program. Which basically means I have a class of hilarious, rowdy, 8 and 9 year old boys. Today at recess they were running around like crazy all burning off energy in their own way. A few of them wanted to play soccer, I wanted to bond with my kids. ...Read More »

This week go through your husband's closet and make sure he has enough underwear and socks. ALSO Pray for his walk and his talk. That what he says and what he actually then do will add up (integrity). Pray that he will set the example. Sometimes love is felt best when it meets a practical need, like buying your husband new undies. I know that most of our very hygienic better halves can hold on to that jockey (barely still on the jock strap and with 3 very unflattering holes) for years and years, but I also know my husband's frustration when he only has 2 pairs of socks left - and a whole lot of single mismatched pieces. So this week we simply want to make sure that they at least have the option of wearing a pair of socks and a clean, no-stain-or-rip jockey/boxer/brief (what ever your husband might fancy). With this week's challenge I thought I would share a bit about your husband's need for "Domestic Support". Now the moment I utter those words at least half of the women out there will go : "My dear, it is the year 2016, not 1934". I know this... But I strongly believe, and see the impact it has, that as women we still have a very significant role when it comes to the running of the household. I am all for sharing responsibilities and we do not have a dishwasher because my husband can do such a good job, but I think we have a powerful tool that we fail to use because we want to "stand up for our rights" and in the process we miss out on the beauty of being in charge of the day-to-day. Tool... Beauty... ??? Yes! You see, inside every well-educated, modern, hardworking, 21st century business-man there is still a bit of cave-man that no one can get rid of. And this part of him reasons that, when he comes home with his briefcase (the modern version of the club) in hand, he simply has to fall down on the coach, semi-dead. He has slaved away all day and now he has come home to the love of his life, the fruit of his loin and the safety of his cave. Don't believe me? Just go visit one of your Bachelor friends and see how much his house resembles a cave :) We make the caves into homes - that is simply something we do. And although our husbands would have been fine living in the musky, dark, slob of a flat for the rest of their lives, they really really appreciate the fresh, light, beautiful house they get to share with you. And this makes it a tool... something you can use to score points, to add value to his life, to bless him. Please note that I am not asking you to "mother" your husband, I am saying: Lets get into a place of serving and blessing them. Can your husband cook for himself? Yes... But he will appreciate it so much if he gets home once in a while to a home-cooked meal served with a cold beer if you dare. Can your husband do laundry? Yes... he can also operate a vacuum cleaner and load a dishwasher... but if you take up this position in your house where you bless him with a clean and organised house, you might just be surprised how it will influence his mood. AGAIN... I am not saying we should slave away and always have everything under control, perfectly dressed and spotless, but I do want to encourage you to not be so concerned with your "rights" that you loose out on blessing your husband. And that is what makes it so beautiful. When you get to a point where you do not do these tasks because you have to as woman of the house but where you do it because you are have the power to, because you want to bless your husband, because you want to add value to both your lives and in this way enhance your marriage. This week I also want to encourage you to take some time to pray for your husband's walk and talk. That his yes will be his yes and his no a no. That he will be able to keep the promises he makes towards family, friends and people at work. That he will live with integrity.
