Loving Your Wife: Day 9
Task: BIG ONE – Clean the Kitchen Reasoning: Piggybacking on yesterday’s “Do the Dishes” task, today involves cleaning the kitchen well. Tasks likely include sweeping and mopping floors, cleaning and putting away all dishes, wiping down countertops and the stove, wiping out the microwave, and cleaning the oven (which hopefully has a “self-clean” feature). Clean it…

Loving Your Wife: Day 8
Task: Do the dishes Reasoning: Like some of the previous ideas, this is a “make sure it gets done and your wife isn’t involved” ideas. That being said, I’m going to include a second part to this one. Make sure the dishes are washed and squared away right after dinner. That means unloading the dishwasher as…

Loving Your Wife: Day 7
Task: Do a 30 minute sweep of the house (just go through and straighten everything up). Reasoning: Remember those love languages I mentioned yesterday. Well, another one of those is Acts of Service. This is a short (seriously, set your timer for 30 minutes) opportunity to just go through and pick up the house. My recommendation…

Encourage One Another
Ex-hort: verb – strongly encourage or urge (someone) to do something. Exhort is one of those interesting words we find in Scripture. We read it regularly, but almost never use it. Seriously, when was the last time you used the word “exhort” in a conversation? Probably around the last time you used the word “behold.” Yet, when…

Loving Your Wife: Day 5
Task: Give her at least 15 minutes of your undivided attention where you JUST LISTEN. Reasoning: OK, blunt truth time: Most guys suck at this. Most of us as men do not see the value in just sitting down and really listening to our wives talk about their day. They change from topic to topic too…

Picture Perfect
Walt Disney was one of the most prolific content creators of the past century. He is easily remembered as a larger-than-life personality who created Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and countless other characters, movies, and eventually theme parks that have provided decades of entertainment. He was a man of great vision, but he was not always…

Loving Your Wife: Day 4
Task: Buy her flowers Reasoning: If you’re like me, you probably get caught up in the business of life and before you know it, it’s been at least a year since you’ve bought flowers for the love of your life just because she’s the love of your life. So grab some flowers and surprise her. How…

Loving Your Wife: Day 3
Task: Make her breakfast in bed Reasoning: Breakfast in bed is one of those treats that make most wives feel loved and appreciated. It doesn’t have to be extravagant, but it probably shouldn’t be a bowl of cereal either (unless she just loves her some cereal)! So get to work making her something delicious! Oh, yeah,…
