~head over heels~

Sustaining Love

Long Lasting Intimacy & Passion

Why did we marry?

"we were head over heels in love"

Courtney @ Women Living Well

has kicked off today

I first questioned the word "challenge"

should it be a challenge  to do these things that I

 need to already be doing?

Admiration, Praise, Appreciation &.......

I looked up the definition to the word.

Challenge  - n. to compete in a sport

:-)

I was instantly reminded of the scripture passage

in Genesis 26 of Issac & Rebekah

(I think sweetheart has read this one to me before)

Issac was sporting with Rebekah his wife

vs. 8

However, the commentaries or dictionaries explain this one

laughing, playing, they were enjoying one another

So ironic this "challenge" to be presented today.

This morning sweetheart found this -

Week ONE begins today

and I have a head start!

Here is Courtney's challenge for this week:

Look for ways to praise your husband verbally.

 Praise him in front of the kids, friends, family, co-workers, on facebook, tweet it -

 get praise out anyway you can!

 Try to mention something noteworthy he has done - in his role as provider, father, husband, lover, or friend.

 If the thought of trying to come up with one terrifies you,

 then pray right now that God will give you new eyes to see your husband as God does.

 Then open your mouth and say something kind and uplifting to your husband

 today and tomorrow and the next day until Valentine's Day arrives!

Of all things~

I went to the bookshelf last night and

pulled out

Fall in Love and Stay in Love

by Willard F. Harley, Jr.

and started re-reading it.

I highly recommend this one. 

***

We plan to celebrate our

 25 years of marriage this year.

I'm hoping to

rekindle, restoke, renew

 and whatever else

I can do to keep the love alive.
