When my husband and I first got married, I was really good at showing him that I loved him.

My husband would probably say I loved him a little too much.

After having kids, I quickly realized that my husband got put on the back burner. Obviously I didn’t do it on purpose. He got lost in the dirty dishes, unfolded laundry, and never ending diapers.

I wanted to prioritize my husband and show him how thankful I am for him, but I just didn’t have the time or frankly the energy to do so.

Many days I seemed to be in survival mode of motherhood and showing my husband he was loved wasn’t a top priority.

Ha, some days I barely got my teeth brushed and changed out of my pajamas.

STRUGGLING TO DO IT ALL MOMMA?

After struggling to adjust to the stay-at-home mom life, I learned a few things and would love to share.

DISCLAIMER– I would love to say I have mastered this, but I will admit it is a CONSTANT battle to keep my prioritize on God, myself, my husband, and my kids.

STORY BEHIND THE 30 DAY MARRIAGE CHALLENGE

When asked at church one Sunday how our family was adjusting to two kids my husband’s answered, “I’ve learned who ever cries the loudest gets the attention.” He said it to be funny, but there was definitely some truth to it.

Naturally our newborn and toddler would cry and need attention. Postpartum emotions got me hard too and I did my fair share of crying.

Needless to say, my husband got the least amount of attention in our crazy house.

His little joke was my wake up call. I didn’t just want to live life in survival mode.

I. wanted. more.

In some personal development I was doing, I heard that we should try to be 1% better than we were yesterday.

I wanted to be a better wife, a better mom, a better daughter for Christ, a better friend, a better neighbor, and the list can go on.

It took some humility, but I asked my husband, “How can I be a better wife tomorrow?” . The phrase gets repeated multiple times in our house and starts beautiful conversations about our flaws, imperfections, and how we CAN be better.

Small steps add up to BIG changes.

That’s how this 30 day marriage challenge was born. One woman making small little steps to be a better wife each day.

You can too!

5 LOVE LANGUAGES by Gary Chapman

Shortly after getting married, we read Gary Chapman’s book The Five Love Languages. If you haven’t read it yet, you MUST! We tell every newlywed or engaged couple they need to read it.

Author Gary Chapman discusses how humans have five basic love languages that they feel and show love. The activities in the 30 day marriage challenge focus on these 5 Love Languages.
