But, would just like to say that you mentioned some good points, Lindsay - the best being to focus more on becoming like Jesus!! When this is done - all other things will fall into place!!<br /><br />bonnieroof60(at)yahoo(dot)com<br />I am a follower and subscriber!! bontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852536941656729576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-77597331063112253672014-02-14T07:49:41.794-08:002014-02-14T07:49:41.794-08:00Take time to truly know who you are.

As women, we put forth so much effort to be what we think a man is looking for that we so often lose the real "us" in the process.Melissa Oldakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035037082618200808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-73815944729453627412014-02-14T04:29:16.618-08:002014-02-14T04:29:16.618-08:00I wish I had went to college before marriage and c...I wish I had went to college before marriage and children so that I could have contributed more financially to ease the burden for my husband. We have been married for almost 28 years. Financial struggles wear hard on any relationship. Keeping Jesus Christ as the center of your life is the only thing that will get you through the impossible times. <br /><br />The other important thing you can do is to always, ALWAYS communicate everything. We are all different & think differently. Don't ever assume that the other can read your mind or know what you are thinking or feeling. <br /><br />We have two beautiful, intelligent daughters who love God with all of their hearts. Training a child when they are young is key. We have always been open with our communication with them as well. When I was a child, it wasn't appropriate to discuss finances, relationships or any other adult topic with your children. Thus, becoming an adult & facing those challenges were difficult without having any early experiences or examples to follow. We chose to allow our children to be a part of nearly every challenge, the positives & the negatives of our life. In doing so, they have been equipped to handle life as an adult. We find many times that they help us with options when we are faced with a difficult decision now. They are 23 (engaged) and 18 (in a committed relationship). Hopefully, someday when they are on their own & they face a difficult task, they will ask themselves "what did dad & mom do in this situation" and learn from either our mistake or be able to follow our example & make a smart choice. <br /><br />Last but not least, the cliche "the family that prays together, stays together" is very much true! That is the glue that holds you together spiritually, emotionally, financially, physically and in every other way! When the world around us is falling apart, prayer builds a bond and a faith like nothing else. Teach someone to pray and anything is possible!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05699000933123374138noreply@blogger.com
