Vacationing with my Husband

Hi, everyone, my husband, and I just got back from a 14-day cruise and we had a ball. This was the first time we went on a vacation for a straight 14-days and it was a cruise. Our first cruise was for nine days but this topped everything. My husband and I had a great time together; it had been a long time that we both were together confined in a space for that many days. In our daily lives, we see each in passing most of the time because of work, school, and outside interest quality time is lost, and back to our daily routine. However, getting to spend quality time together on our cruise was priceless. We got a chance to reconnect sexually, emotionally, and have fun. It’s important for married couples to spend as much time as possible together; there are so many distractions in the world that can tear marriages apart. You may not be able to take an extended vacation; however, you can make time to spend together to talk, love, dine, and play that’s free.

Appreciation

Every now and then, you want to hear the words job well done. There is nothing wrong with wanting someone to recognize your hard work or work in general. Well, the same goes for marriage; there is nothing wrong with telling your spouse they did a great job. My husband is great at cleaning, and I let him know. Learn to appreciate the good things in life, where you are, and where you’re going; learn to be content. Marriage is wonderful, but it takes work. Don’t envy someone else’s marriage, envy your own, and what you and your spouse have accomplished together. You will be surprised at how amazing you are.

Until next time

Loving On You

There is nothing better than being with the one you love; love is like heaven on earth. In the bible, God gives us a great illustration of Love 1 Corinthians 13. When you have someone in your life, you can trust, call friend, as well as a lover; it’s beautiful. After years of being married, sometimes it is hard to keep the flame going. However, once you have been married a considerable amount of time, it is about love and being there for one another no matter what. Your sex life changes, you pleasure each other in different ways, you hold each other longer, and you do not rush to have sex. Everything you do is done slowly, savoring every moment. With love comes patience and kindness; it is not about you but the other person. When you get to the weaving stage in your marriage, this is the reminder of what attracted you to each other from the beginning

Don’t Ever Forget

My married couple’s; do you still go out and wine, and dine each other? Do you still love each other out in public? Do you still have sex? Individuals married for a reasonable length of time; some of the romance in your marriage can become stagnated and boring. Let’s not forget what brought you two together in the first place. Often, we settle into our marriage, get comfortable, and drift into different interests, which is not a bad thing; however,  you must still come back together. I suggest that every seven years, a marriage should be renewed. My husband and I have a rule that every seven years we renew our marriage; by doing so, it releases us from the boredom and staleness of the old and bring us into something new. We don’t renew our vowels we decide to try new things.  Life changes, and we learn to change with it as well.

Nevertheless, don’t lose that connection that you had in the beginning. We all have slow times in our marriage when life happens; however, you have to make adjustments, and take pause, and get back on track (don’t stay on hiatus). Sit on the couch, pull out your videos of when you got married, get out the pictures of your favorite vacation spots. Marriage is continuous work, and it gets better over time if you stay and work on it. Don’t give up; renewing is all your marriage need (Out with the old in with the new).

Companionship

Finally, we have concluded ten things men want from their wives. Last but not least: Companionship.

 Hopefully, if you have been married an appreciable amount of time, your husband is not only your lover but also your friend. Being companions and friends throughout the years require that you find new experiences and spend quality time together. Spending time together will help your marriage strengthen as you both explore outside interest.  Sharing your interest will make for exciting conversation when you come together. (It makes great pillow talk.)

 Moreover be mindful, marrying your best friend means not taking him for granted and making small sacrifices to please each other.  I did like to watch baseball; however, if my husband asks me to watch a game, no hesitation. Also, wives practice using the gentle words and show your appreciation for him daily, remember he chose you to be his wife.

Trust

Trust and being trusted is vital to the success of a healthy marriage. The way couples build trust in a healthy relationship is by being honest with each other communicating,
and learning to fight fairly.  A relationship takes time to build, and it takes time to build trust.  Without trust, a relationship wouldn’t survive. Trust is essential to life, and it is innocuous to say that more relationships fail from a lack of trust than by actual betrayal or infidelity or of the other person.

Free Time for Him

Wives, Wives, Wives, Let your man have his free time; there is nothing like having time for you. I am not the type of wife that crowds her husband. As I require my free time, so does my husband. A man needs to get away alone to think, relax, and gather their thoughts. When your husband comes home from work, never greet him with unnecessary chatter of your workday, nor start complaining. Allow him time to unwind and get himself together. Let your husband have some free space to do him. Do greet him when he comes in and asks how his day was. However, be mindful of your husbands’ free time and allow him to have time to himself. Once he is relaxed, then it will be time well spent with each other.

Hanging With Mr. Cooper

Wow, Mr. Cooper and I had a wonderful mini vacation. We headed to Atlantic City for two days, relaxed by the pool, and ate like crazy before heading off to Wildwood New Jersey. We enjoyed walking the broad walk, although it was hot. We stopped by Douglas fudge to get my favorite cashew patties before heading home. We took a 4th of July breather and went to friends for a cookout, where the company and the food were delightful. After a day of relaxing, we were off to one of our favorite cities, New York, NY; they had to name it twice. While in the big apple, we detoured Continue reading “Hanging With Mr. Cooper”

Less Chatter

Quiet Please! If you are anything like me, you love to talk, however, my husband is not as chatty as I am. Sometimes, wives, we have to learn to say nothing. I know there are many things we want to talk about to our mate, but let your man unwind and rest before you start with your list of conversations. Communication is key to any relationship; however, scheduling a time to have a conversation with your husband is wonderful especially if he is not a talker. You have to know when to much chatter is enough. Quiet Please.
