Created To Be His Help Meet - A Merry Heart

This must be a tough one! Chapter 2 - Have A Merry Heart

Important parts of the lesson - more analysis, practice and thinking!

1. When he first fell in love with you, you were a sweet little thing, full of laughter and fun - Yeah yeah, easy to say! After you get married so many little things to-do, esp if he delegates it to you! Staying that sweet little thing everyday ain't easy esp. with so many new roles and responsibilities including finances! Ooops hey, but if we go back to the basics... then all we need to do is be that nice little helper and yes perhaps that sweet little thing too! That would help!
2. Men are highly attracted to smiles. That includes your husband - I thought about this and yes, it is something that I do not consciously do it and should do it more often. Except, analyzing this part - I must admit too, often we give alot of excuses for us not too (I would have many if I sat down to write about them!) and esp. so he doesn't smile that smile anymore! Or never had, hmmmm .. oh well .. we gota stop thinking who should take the first step huh, and just do out part, consistently, every single day! What a challenge!
3. Never demand that a man love you and cherish you because he ought to. Earn every smile and shared moment - This had been so much contracdition to my original believe and I must admit, I do get the feeling all these married years that if I have to fight for him to love me, its not marriage, its not love, its .. I don't know what but its definitely something else. I didn't think we need to rally for love, I didn't think it's right .. I really thought, yes he ought to .. for I've seen in my culture, its OK and the guy automatically showers his love for you abundantly .. now I have to really fix my mind and make a transformation ---- for a holy reason? Maybe! But definitely its growth ...
4. God stands with you when you stand by your man - This is something I never learned off .. but I am thankful I have the chance to learn this message and have open ears for it.
5. Stand by your man.
