FOR HER
- Week 1 - Snuggle up to him. Brush your fingers through his hair for several minutes.
- Week 2 - The next time he's working on a project, sit silently near him, then compliment his work. It may not be this week, but don't forget.
- Week 3 - Plan an evening of intimacy with him. Give him a little tease of what's to come before he leaves in the morning.
- Week 4 - Tell him you believe in him. That dream he's been thinking about, or goal he has been working toward, tell him you believe he can do it.
MARRIAGE CHALLENGES
Enhance the romance with our marriage challenges. Men and women typically have different needs and desires. Unfortunately, we tend to show love the way we receive love, and therefore "miss the mark" in showing love to each other. The marriage challenges are suggestions for you to do with, or for, your spouse to help you better meet your spouse's needs & desires, and to put the spark back in the marriage. Marriage challenges will come in the mail, plus you also have the option of receiving them through text. Focus on one challenge per week, and eventually, you will see your marriage transform.

Devotions
"IF A HOUSE IS DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF, THAT HOUSE CANNOT STAND.”
Discuss it – In what ways have you been trying to compete instead of working as a team?
Don’t answer this next one out loud or accuse your spouse. Just give this one some thought. Have I been putting my spouse down to get them to view me as the superior one? Where have I been trying to compete instead of support?
In what ways could you and your spouse be working together better?
Discuss the jobs being done in your home. Are they being done by the person who has the strength in that area?
Pray over it – Dear God, thank you for connecting me with [spouse's name] and for [list out your spouse's strengths]. Please transform my mind to see my spouse as my teammate, not my competitor. Teach me to show respect to my spouse. Help us to be unified in our decision-making. Amen.
