Wanna Have Fun?

6 Ways to have Fun with Your Spouse “You don’t’ stop having fun when you get old, you get old when you stop having fun” Wrestle Sounds silly but I do it quite often in my place! It’s all about the kid in you, don’t be uptight, get loose. You can pillow fight, food fight….whatever your choice is…YOU start it! Act out a movie scene If its popular chances are we’ve done this. It’s hilarious; Scarface, Gladiator, Life, Adam Sandler movies, Coming to America…….pick your favorites. We all remember the lines in our favorite movies! Hit the courts Now this may not be as much fun if your husband is 6’5 like mine but give it a try. You stay active and most importantly its time well spent ……No cheating! Spend time with other couples I believe being social is important although some may beg the differ …. “If you find another couple that you can both click with, then you can go out and you can do these fun things together. What you are doing is supporting and encouraging you...

6 Ways to Enjoy Yourself

Learn how to Enjoy YOURSELF Do you have a Disease to Please? Always Busy? Take a day off and make Yourself A Priority.  Disconnect from work “With the internet, laptops, PDA’s, and Blackberries, we are pretty much always connected to our work 24/7. Although it can be great for productivity, it doesn't allow you to take a step back and refuel your energy & creativity. This is why, to really have a good day off” The average person is online so much statistics are starting to write about what we’re NOT doing because we are always online. Crazy right! Put down the mobile devices and try to relax your mind. Take a day out of the week, and go into YOU-MODE….if they love you, they’ll understand.

For example, don’t wake up at the same time, or have the same breakfast or do the same activities that you would do on a regular day. Your day off needs to be a comp...

Married? Find out how to stay that way

How to Stay Married I read this from an article where the guy states, “I can’t yet say how to stay married for 50 years, but here are a few things that can help you get to 40!” Never use the  divorce  word in arguments; it makes your partner feel like they’re standing on a banana peel. If you have used it in the past, stop and never do it again! Set aside a few minutes every day, make eye contact and talk about something besides running a household—your day, dreams, disappointments. Tell your spouse “I love you,” and affirm something they do at least once a day. Touch each other often—there is a transfer that takes place. (Think what happened when the woman touched the hem of Jesus’ robe.) Spend time together alone. You may both need to drop to your fourth, fifth or even sixth favorite thing to do to find something you both like. Pray  with  each other. We pray for the day—it only takes one or two minu...

Control Yourselves

Developing Self Discipline John MacArthur Here are some things that have helped me through the years: 1. Start Small. Start with your room. Clean it, then keep it clean. When something is out of place, train yourself to put it where it belongs. Then extend the discipline of neatness to the rest of your home. 2. Be on time. That may not seem very spiritual, but it's important. If you're supposed to be somewhere at a specific time, be there on time. Develop the ability to discipline your desires, activities, and demands so that you can arrive on time. 3. Do the hardest job first. When you do that, you will find it easier to do the simpler tasks. 4. Organize your life. Plan the use of your time; don't just react to circumstances. Use a calendar and make a daily list of things you need to accomplish. If you don't control your time, everything else will. 5. Accept correction. Correction helps make you more disciplined because it shows you what ...

The Product of Laziness- PROCRASTINATION

Procrastination Procrastination is often overlooked as a psychological disorder and simplistically attributed to laziness. However, extensive research over the past few decades has revealed procrastination as a far more psychologically significant condition with complex causes and serious implications. Procrastination has also been identified as a common symptom of a more significant underlying psychological disorder. First, modern technology makes it increasingly easier for people to procrastinate. The computer has activities that cater to many different sectors of society and distractions like checking e-mail, messaging friends instantly, surfing the news, listening to music, watching videos on YouTube, playing computer games and hanging out in virtual social networks like Facebook and MySpace can all unnecessarily delay the task at hand. The computer isn't the only distraction: television, cell phones, mp3 players, video games and a whole host of increasingly sophi...
