FANTASY CASTLE FOR HIM

31 Mar

Yes, men do dream of having their “fantasy castle”.

I am sure everyone has heard of the saying that, “A mans home is his castle.”

BUT IS THAT TRUE??

My husband is artistic, so he loves to pick where we live and how it will be decorated.

Thank God we have the same taste or it would be a mess.

We will continue on with some comments from the book, “His needs, her needs”, by Willard F. Harley Jr.

A man’s fantasy goes something like this:

His home life is free of stress and worry,

After work, his wife greets him lovingly at the door and

Their well-behaved children are also glad to see him.

He enters the comfort of a well maintained home

As his wife urges him to relax before having dinner.

Conversation at the dinner is enjoyable and

Free of conflict.

Later the family goes out together for an early evening stroll, and

He returns to put the children to bed

With no hassle or fuss.

Then he and his wife relax and

Talk together,

Watch a little television, and,

At a reasonable hour, go to bed to make love.

Does this look like what happens in your home nightly?

How many men would marry a woman who would refuse to manage housework or childcare?

The “man’s fantasy” has become the “woman’s fantasy” as well. They both want to relax after a stressful day at work.

Do you use your time wisely? Prov.31:27 “She looketh well to the ways of her household (is a good manager, is economical) and eateth not the bread of idleness.”

Once you get home, be careful not to spend extra time on the phone talking to friends.

Also, watch your social networking time because time can pass quickly.

Are you a good homemaker? Titus 2:5 “To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home (homemakers), good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”

Be sure to get rid of clutter. Whatever your husband is asking for you to do, you should spend time completing.

Do you teach your children about God? Isa.54:13 “And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.”

Try to be creative. Ken and Trudy Blount have many resources for family. They have one book that has an array of ideas for everyday to do activities with your children. It has been highly recommended!

Do you allow angry words in your home? Eph.4:26 “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.”

It only takes one person to stop a fight. All day you have been a testimony to your coworkers, now be a testimony to your own family.

Do you lust at what your neighbor has? Luke 12:15 “…take heed and beware of covetousness: for a mans (woman’s) life consists not in the abundance of the things which he (she) possesseth.”

The devil tells all of us that we are working for nothing. He always shows us someone who is in a better financial standing then us to get us to covet. Don’t go for his tricks.

On Sunday does your family drop everything and go to church?

Ex.20:8-10 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy…the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God…”

Prepare the day before for church. This way everyone gets up and knows exactly what they are suppose to be doing.

In Lu Ann Bransby’s book “ Woman”, she lists 8 ways to have a happy household.

Repent of your sins and turn away from them.
Dedicate your house and everything in it to God.
Keep yourself and your family pure. Do not have sex with anyone who is not your spouse…No sexual fantasies, objects, literature, TV shows.
Do not drink, take drugs, or us foul language. Treat each other the way you would like to be treated.
Go to church together.
Use self-control in all things.
Read the bible and pray together.
Love your neighbor.

Your husband’s home is his castle.

Let him make DECISIONS for his own home!!!

Or is your husband just a guest and can’t make the decision?

I HOPE NOT!!!!!

Whose castle is it anyway????
