HUSBANDS WHO ARE IN KINDERGARTEN
If the root cause of most diseases and ailments is excessive stress, then instead of treating the root cause, many physicians are treating the symptoms
Prescriptions to treat these symptoms are at an all time high.
(Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Lexapro)
These drugs DO NOT prevent stress.
Even with these addictive drugs, we are not sure that they even help the symptoms.
Excessive release of “stress hormones” damages cells, tissues, and organs.
1. Through Christ, Anxiety can be Overcome.
Phil.4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.”
In the Greek, the word “strengthen” means to EMPOWER.
The Apostle Paul had INVISIBLE SUPPORT.
CASE AND POINT: I don’t know about you, but my husband LOVES, loves, loves, those super hero movies. I don’t think we have ever missed a one. Why? Because the odds are unfair. He is endued with power and tears everyone up. Of course there is the evil one, but he overcomes and we walk out of the cinema happy.
God wants you to call on him because only he can give you the strength to overcome whatever catastrophes may hit your marriage.
2. God promises to meet all our needs.
Phil.4:19 “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
The Philippians knew that it was impossible to out give God.
Whatever you are anxious about, remember that you cannot out give God.
STOP taking it out on your husband.
Is he wanting to get something that you have decided that not only is it to expensive but it doesn’t make sense.
Your sense, if I may. DON’T treat him like he is in kindergarten!!
He is a big healthy boy. He works hard and his desires don’t have to match yours.
In fact, they probably NEVER WILL.
Make the sacrifice for him. GOD WILL MEET YOUR NEED!!!!
Okay, we will move on wives, but one day “I’ll Be Back” and we will cover that finance topic again.
3. With you is the grace of God.
Phil.4:23 “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.”
Grace is Gods undeserved favor.
CASE AND POINT: Some one told my daughter that there could be a hundred girls in a room, but God will point her out and she would be chosen. That is exactly what happened to her. She was picked from a studio out of hundreds of girls to go free of charge to China.
Stay with me!!! The grace of God is WITH YOU!!
How would you even know that if you weren’t pinned in a corner.
Undeserved favor means you DON’T deserve it!!
Has your spouse done or said something stupid. Well, so have you. AND ME!!
Anxiety is a marriage killer!! You only need a dose of God’s grace!!
NOTE: Daily there is a new post to help your marriage be a success.
LOVE YOUR SPOUSE 
I have always counted on my husband to just hold me and tell me everything is going to be alright. I don’t need answers, opinion, clarification or instruction, just some good ol’ fashioned comfort. After almost 20 years of marriage, he understands. Basically, I just need a hug sometimes. Well, for the first time he admitted to me that that was what he needed. I put my arms around him, squeezed and told him, “God will see us through and everything will be okay.” He smiled and told me he felt better. We need to know that we are on the same team, fighting the same fight, coming against the same enemy. We’ve got each other’s back…and together with Christ, we can overcome ANYTHING!
Thank you Sister Nancy, I read your blog to my husband and it gives us the opportunity to discuss things before there is an issue or argument. What a wonderful tool!
HI L. Lopez! Your comments are always inspiring! This will encourage spouses all over the world. Thanks!
Such great advice that is so hard to remember in the moment!
Hi Heather! Thanks for your comment. I have a marriage bible. If you could get a bible that you will use just for marriage, that would be good. Then mark the scripture and write what God is saying to you. Write down the areas that you will let the Holy Spirit change. God will honor your efforts. That is the best way to remember. Enjoy the journey!!!
