Always make your bed.....

Hello to my Beloved Readers - always make your bed!

This is vital advice to maintain and grow your marriages :)

I just bet you are thinking that I am crazy. How can making a bed be vital to your relationship with your mate?

Do I have your curiosity aroused? Read on and then let me know what you think.

I was making the bed the other day and almost stopped making it. I was running late...... Then a little tug on my heart strings said, "Make that bed - it's the time you to pray for Paul and your marriage." So - guess what? --- I did indeed make that bed. As I was making it I prayed as I always do,

for my husband;

for his protection, thankful for him and his partnership with me, for his wisdom, for his health, for his relationship with his children and our God, for us.......

Now listen here - beloved ones -

I started this process of "bed-making prayer" many years ago. And it has never failed me, or Paul. Praying for your spouse daily, purposefully and intentionally secures your relationship to him. It is another foundational practice that will grow you closer.

And one last benefit here - what can be a very mundane chore - becomes one of eternal value....

So - that is why I encourage you to always make your bed.....
