When Your Husband Doesn’t Bring You Flowers

It’s a joy to share with you today the article I wrote this month for the Young Wives’ Club. I hope it helps and inspires you.

 

I love, love, love being married! Apart from Christ, marriage is the biggest blessing of my life. At some point in our marriage journeys, however, we begin to notice that our husbands may not be doing all the same romantic or considerate things they did on a more regular basis back when they were just our boyfriends.

You know what I’m talking about – they no longer give us flowers regularly for no reason or perhaps they don’t hang on to our every word with quite the same interest as before or maybe they don’t express exuberance over something we’ve shared quite as freely as they once did.

It can be easy to quickly grow disappointed or disenchanted when considering these noted changes. This is precisely when we start walking on dangerous ground, because those small disappointed feelings, if allowed to fester in our hearts, can easily grow into deep-rooted angst and bitterness against our guys.

So, what do we do? How do we handle these let-downs over some change in things our husbands do for us or ways in which they act towards us? There are actually a few points I want to make on this topic, which I hope will both encourage you, as well as challenge you, and all the while, grow and prosper your marriage. Let’s get started!
