LOL! It will do me good in the long-run, but it sure did sting when pulled off... rrriiippp!!!<br />It was amazing how I would be in the midst of something with my hubby and then I'd open your blogsite and find something posted that I truly needed to hear. And I thought that being married for 19 years expempted me from needing a marriage challenge.

It's super hard to remember during the annoying times what a gift from God my hubby is. But, it is what God commands us to do.

This is my second marriage (my first lasting over 18 years) I thought I knew how to be a wife... but thanks for the refreshing, encouraging & inspiring lessons! My hubby & I talked about most of them and if I could consistently follow through I am sure our marriage would be strengthened.... I will keep pressing on!! On a lighter note my husband's over all comment on this series.... he thinks you are secretly a guy because your ideas and challenges were so on target LOL<br />Thank you for being open & honest about your marriage because overall I was thinking I was just not measuring up... and yes I need to work on that but like your blog on the children PROGRESS not Perfection!!<br />Thank you for being a woman concerned about other women living well!!!

What I have found myself doing most of the summer is praying for him. I plan to go back and re-take the challenge when things calm down a bit. I appreciate that you prepared and shared all of this.

I don't blog myself, but I have really enjoyed reading yours. Your summer marriage challenge really helped me to think about my marriage and focus my attention and efforts on being the best possible wife I can be. Your challenge has really opened my eyes and allowed me to see that I have a lot of areas that I still need to work on and improve. Thank you for taking time out of your life to do this blog. I look forward to reading more of your encouraging words.tiffycole143https://www.blogger.com/profile/08632380991406797245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-36925006718816768962010-08-16T22:05:35.917-04:002010-08-16T22:05:35.917-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.tiffycole143https://www.blogger.com/profile/08632380991406797245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-27168644979444222742010-08-16T19:05:54.676-04:002010-08-16T19:05:54.676-04:00My husband and I where in the baby to tired season...My husband and I where in the baby to tired season, we had 3 children in 3 1/2 years.

When I found your blog, I went back and picked up where I had missed and started again. I feel that the challenge has greatly helped us already!

My hubby and I have actually been working on our relationship and our communication, trying to focus more on each other's needs. It's really eye opening how we can incorrectly assume things of each other, therefore constantly being disappointed if you're not communicating and connecting! What a time of growth and deeper connection we're gaining! (And we've been married 19 years!)Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07398699178791237161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-26873071093797715132010-08-16T16:59:20.776-04:002010-08-16T16:59:20.776-04:00Thank you so much for putting together this wonder...Thank you so much for putting together this wonderful summer challenge!!!

It was then that I asked him many of the questions that you posed during the challenges. He really felt loved, respected, and appreciated by the fact that I just wanted to know these things about him. He then turned many of the questions on me, so I was able to share my heart as well. It was a great way for us to reconnect that night.

It was good to read about some tangible things and specifics on how one can disrespect by expressions and not just words, and likewise, how one can build him up with doing, not always saying. I am not a very talkative person, my husband is. It seems a lot easier for him to put things into words. When I say things it doesn't seem to carry with it the beauty of what I am thinking inside. The words aren't eloquent enough. So I was relieved to know there are ways to show it besides being romantic verbally. Thank you very much. I am working on both sides, but my hands do better than my lips most often.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027037290197231409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-26697270405003769562010-08-16T15:16:46.051-04:002010-08-16T15:16:46.051-04:00It has never occurred to me to ask him my prioriti...It has never occurred to me to ask him my priorities.
