BECOMING PREGNANT

While I’ve been married to my dear OH for just over 30 years, we haven’t been blessed with the birth of a child. It was never an issue for either of us. I didn’t get married until I was almost 43, and my better half had just turned 39 three days before. Part of the reason for not having any children had been my age; however, it was more due to my suffering from a genetic condition that we didn’t want to pass on to any children, especially if we had had a daughter.

Having children carries a broad spectrum of emotions, from delight to fear, from apprehension to anticipation, and from concerns to marvel. It is a time when, as a Christian woman, you need to possess a closer relationship with the Lord for the wondrous miracle growing from the seed He has placed in your womb. This is a time of waiting as your child is developing physically inside of you so that you can increase your faith and have it grow spiritually.

As a Christian woman, it is important to remember what you read in PSALM 127:3 [NKJV]:

“Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.”

As well as what is written in PSALM 22:9-10 [NLT]:

[9] “Yet you brought me safely from my mother’s womb and led me to trust you at my mother’s breast.”

[10] “I was thrust into your arms at my birth. You have been my God from the moment I was born.”

All of this culminates in what we read in PSALM 139:13-18 [NLT]:

[13] You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.

[14] Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

[15] You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

[16] You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

[17] How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.

They cannot be numbered!

[18] I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand!

And when I wake up, you are still with me!

Have a BLESSED DAY, my dear sisters-in-Christ, with whatever you’re planning on doing, and may each of you be blessed with a child, if you haven’t been blessed already!!! 😊😊😊

COMMUNICATION TIPS #2 – OPENNESS

As a Christian woman being married for 30+ years to my dear OH, I have learned there is far more than one facet to what is called communication, which comprises most of the secrets of successful marriages, as well as many of the devastating marriage failures.

A successful marriage, from my experience, involves the swapping of information in couples without any attempt to hurt one another. I happen to be overweight, and if my OH would dare to say something like, “What you are wearing makes you look fat.” I would hate it and probably might slap his face hard.” On the other hand, if he would say something like, “How about wearing your dark blue pants when we go out for dinner tonight? Those pants compliment your figure. I would tend to give him a tender kiss.

So, here is a tip that will aid in your communication with your spouse.

OPENNESS

Those little spats you might experience in your marriage can lead ultimately to a destructive blow up which either you or your spouse or even both of you will regret. Do not hold back in saying what needs to be said before it becomes a tension making episode. My spouse has habits that drives me totally crazy which I need to keep reminding the dear not to do. If I didn’t, and I would allow it to continue to aggravate me, I might wind up doing something I will live to regret.

So, my dear sisters-in-Christ, let us keep the peace in our marriages by applying communication tips in our marriages.
