Take time to celebrate

If you want to keep you marriage “Romantic and Sweet” you need to stop and take time to celebrate each other. In this blog I want to encourage you to celebrate your spouse and see what will happen. I dedicate this one to my wife. The greatest wife in the world, a woman of great value. My one and only, the only woman I have ever made love with, my friend and lover. The only woman who truly knows me, I celebrate your beauty, you grace, your passion, your tireless energy and determination. Your commitment and your smile let me say that again your smile wow I see it now as I write.

Her smile is like the breaking of a new day, whose rays warm up the home. It is like a glass of cool juice on a hot summer day. It is like a calming breeze in the blazing sun, like a three in one blanket on a cold joburg winter night. It comforts the home and brings peace it encourages when the world is upset. It heal when pain is attacking it strengthens when there is an assignment ahead. Oh that smile it makes my world go round.

I shall not dare to speak of the embrace, as that is no under 45. But let me just say “You light up my life honey. I celebrate you”

Celebrating is a way of appreciating what God has blessed you with. It’s a means of acknowledging that you have something of value that you are not taking for granted. When wives are not celebrated often a person they feel like they are just a bedroom tool and when husbands are not celebrated they feel they are just an ATM. Celebrate your spouse and you will be amazed at the results. Remember the last blog. I have added some notes from a marriage module I did a while ago I thought this would be of interest to you.

Keeping the romance fire alive in your marriage requires some investment on your part. All the blog’ are designed to provoke you to some kind of action. If anyone has been blessed by the blog’ its me. Wow God is at work in my life through these awesome teachings. The research the scriptures the assessing and the testing if it works. Wow its been awesome.
 
How to celebrate
    You will find that the ROMANCE factor mainly affects the soulish part of man but it does have an impact on our spirits and bodies, good healthy marriages contribute to longevity. Proverbs 15 vs. 13-15 and Proverbs 17 vs.22. SO its healthy to have a good marriage

    Focus on the good things in your marriage deal with the negatives don’t dwell there. (http://buildingagreatmarriage.blogspot.com/2011/10/build-on-positives.html)

    Always celebrate your marriage and friendship, look for opportunities to celebrate some thing. It is in the nature of God to celebrate and rejoice and so it is in man who is made in the image of God. A marriage that has little to celebrate will soon become routine and dutiful. And when the romance runs out you will need help.

    Don't Wait—Celebrate!
*Celebrations don't have to be expensive, elaborate, or exotic
    *Make room for both planned and spontaneous celebrations
    *Punctuate the fun times with celebrations that are affirming, inspiring, and helpful.
    *Reminisce about your life and your future together
    *Create a journal and/or scrapbook of your celebrations
Celebrate a promotion an assignment well done, great sex last night, the baby can sit. Try it and see what happens to your relationship.
