Making Scott & my bed each and every day is one of my "wifey" duties that I absolutely LOVE doing.
"Why?" you ask.
My amazing Pastor Marty had us do a pre-marriage counseling course. Because Scott and I had a long distance engagement, we had to do it online apart and then would talk about it together on the phone afterwards.
One of the last sessions was the wife talking about making their bed and how she makes it so special by praying over her and her husbands relationship.
I adopted this and made it my own.
I love having the alone time praying to God about every aspect of my relationship with my Husband.
Praying that God would protect our relationship.
That God would help grow us closer to Him & closer to each other.
That when we are apart, God will make us stronger.
Praying for us spiritually, physically, and emotionally.
That God would help keep our bedroom sacred.
That God would keep satan out and very far away from our home.
That God would give Scott the strength to lead our family.
That God will give me the strength to keep order in our home.
Thanking for all of our blessings.
To keep our love growing & stronger than anything!
So this is why making our bed is one of my favorite things to do. It is so peaceful to me and such a great way for me to grow closer not only to Scott, but to my God.
I need that more than anything!
I also love that it is serving Scott, wifey brownie points! :]
If you are engaged, I really advise pre-marriage counseling.
If you are married, I advise you to try to pray over your relationship with your husband when you are doing the chore of making the bed.
If you are dating or single, I advise you to pray for your future husband and the relationship that you will share.
Now go earn some wifey brownie points! ;]
I love this! You really are an amazing wife! :)
