How to seduce your husband daily
Ways to keep that loving fire burning in your marriage.
- When we are trying to seduce someone, we use many ways to draw attention to ourselves, especially women. She wears her best clothes, uses her favorite perfume, offers a dazzling smile, asks her friends what she should do to get “that guy” to like her, and she often daydreams of that guy whom she believes could be her “prince charming.”From the moment that we make our dreams become reality, dating consists of smiles, hugs, kissing, long walks, talking, taking pictures together and so on. Basically, it is the time where we get to know each other. When we turn from wondering to truly knowing that this is the man we want to marry, we move on to another part of dating, where we make plans up until the wedding.When we are married, our daily routine becomes an enemy in our lives. If it isn’t nurtured properly, it will bring monotony into our lives. But wait, how do you seduce your spouse daily?
- The daily smile, the everlasting receiving smile. When he comes home, smile at him and ask him about his day.
- Always try to kiss him daily, kiss him passionately or “make-out” and make it an important part of your marriage.
- Send loving text messages, emails, and so on. “I love you very much” “Have a great day." Let your heart guide you on what to say.
- Try to always have meals together. Make this something that is sacred in your life.
- Don’t limit makeup or using perfume for certain days, like when you go out, or when you go to parties. Do this for him on any day, even if you are going to stay at home and just watch a movie together.
- Walking around holding hands, hugging, and always maintaining physical contact is essential to all of this.
- One thing that you cannot forget to do, or to keep off your list of “things to do to seduce your husband” is know how to (and doing it) make his favorite meal. Even if you don’t really know how to cook, these are times where it is OK to ask for guidance from a friend or family member.
To maintain this love, this seduction, it is required to make sacrifices and to actually try. But the woman is not solely responsible for this, the man is also responsible. Yet you, as the woman, can show him the way. I mean, who doesn’t like to be loved, pampered and taken care of? Seduce or conquer requires action
The word “conquer” in the English language, is classified as a verb. Every verb is an action word. Therefore it is important to act on this and practice this as a part of your everyday life, especially in your marriage.“A relationship is a seed to a garden; it needs to be taken care of daily.” – Renato Cardoso and Cristiane Cardoso – Casamento Blindado.Seduction is nothing more than demonstrating your love and devotion to your partner. It’s very important that the both of you feel this with every gesture.“Days that are the exact same are like a river that runs backwards, it doesn’t go anywhere.” – Sandy – Dias IguaisPrioritize your marriage and your relationship
According to the years you have been married, when your children and grandchildren come, we tend to not prioritize each other as we did in the beginning. Still, as partners, we need to remember that our grandchildren and children will one day raise families of their own. Then we will only have each other to support and care for.Seduction isn’t only for young couples that are just starting their married lives. It is for everyone from the moment that you decide to be married together. It will help remind you of the beginning of your marriage. It will come as a daily fight, but with the years it will bring joy and happiness, and every hard moment that you go through together is worth the experience as you will learn to deal with these everyday trials.Use your power as a woman, wife and mother, as they will use their special charm for you and you will be a happy couple.Translated and adapted by Taylor Richardson from the original article, “Como conquistar seu marido todos os dias” by Jacira Silva Dos Santos
According to Your Faith
According to Your Faith
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
…According to your faith be it done to you.
Matthew 9:29, ESV
Matthew 9:29, ESV
TODAY'S WORD:
A lot of times when people have a need, they think that if God wanted to, He would just automatically meet it. But Jesus didn’t say, according to your need be it unto you; He said, according to your faith. That’s why it’s so important to have an attitude of expectancy every single day. If we want God to move in our lives, we have to approach every day filled with faith and hope.
Scripture tells us in Romans that “faith comes by hearing the Word of God.” The more you meditate on the Word of God, the more your faith will grow and the more you will see Him working in your life.
Remember, God longs to bless you, and He’s given you everything you need to be successful in life. All things are possible to those who believe! Believe in His goodness today, believe His Word, and according to your faith, be it done for you!

Meekness Does Not Equal Weakness
BY RICK WARREN — AUGUST 29, 2014
“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5 NIV)
If you want to make healthy choices to be well and whole again, you have to learn to be meek. Matthew 5:5 says, “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth”(NIV).
The Bible lists many benefits of meekness: The meek will be satisfied (Psalm 22:26); God will guide them (Psalm 25:9); they will become wise (Proverbs 11:2); they will be filled with fresh joy (Isaiah 29:19).
There are many, many others. The problem is, we misunderstand this term. None of us really know what meekness is. In fact we often confuse it with another term that sounds like it — “meek” sounds like “weak.” Nobody wants to be weak, so nobody wants to be meek.
But the truth is meekness and weakness are at the opposite ends of the spectrum. Meekness is in no way weakness. In fact the Greek word for meekness literally means “strength under control.” To be meek is not to be weak. It’s used to describe a wild stallion that has been tamed. That stallion still has all the strength it had when it was wild, but now its strength is under control. It is strength bottled up for the master’s use. God doesn’t want you to be weak, but he does want you to be meek. The Bible teaches that it’s one of the keys to stress reduction in your life.
Here’s a simple definition of the word meek: Let go, and let God. That is the essence of meekness. It is surrendering, submitting, and agreeing to what God wants to do in your life. It’s letting God be God in your life. Let go, and let God.
I don’t know a phrase that will do more for your health physically or emotionally than this phrase. If you’ll begin to practice it in your life, it will relieve stress and eliminate worry. If you’ll let go and let God, it will defuse anger and end your hurt and resentment.
Talk It Over
- What areas of your life do you especially need to surrender so that God can take control?
- What might keep you from displaying meekness and submitting your life to God?

There Is Hope in Admitting You Are Broken
BY RICK WARREN — AUGUST 28, 2014
“But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.” (Luke 12:2 NASB)
If you want to get to a place of hope, first you have to see who God really is. But that’s not all. You also have to be honest and admit the truth about yourself.
The truth is, you are broken.
The Bible says in Romans 3:23, “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard” (NLT). I think we all know that. We all know there’s something in us that is broken.
As much as we know this is true, there is something in every one of us that wants to hide from that truth and pretend it’s not there instead of just being honest about it. I don’t know about you, but I spend way too much time and energy hiding from this simple truth: I am broken.
The thing is, in the end we’re not going to be able to hide from it anyway. Luke 12:2 says, “But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known” (NASB). That verse scares the snot out of me. I read that and think, “What? I thought if I could just get through the rest of this life, keep my hurt, habit, or hang-up secret and not tell anybody, when I get to go to Heaven, it will all get erased. If I can just make it until I die, then I’m going to be OK, and nobody will ever know.”
Here’s that verse again in the Message paraphrase: “You can’t keep your true self hidden forever; before long you’ll be exposed. You can’t hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later the mask will slip and your true face will be known.”
In the end, when all is revealed and known, we’re not going to look at each other and go, “Wow! You did that? I’m so disappointed in you. It’s shocking that you did that.” In the end, we’re all going to realize that we’re all the same. We’ve all got the same struggles. We’re all broken.
We’re not going to be pointing fingers at each other. We’re going to be pointing at the One who loves us, Jesus Christ, and saying “Thank you! Thank you that you’ve forgiven us all.”
There is freedom in understanding this truth. But you don’t have to wait until the end. As you recognize this truth, it brings a new freedom into your life. It brings a new hope into your life.
You see who you really are, but you don’t stop there. You see who you really are: broken, and loved. You are loved by the One who knows you best. God’s love will never disappoint you and never give up on you.
“I love you with an everlasting love. So I will continue to show you my kindness”(Jeremiah 31:3b GW).
Talk It Over
- Why do you think we insist on hiding our brokenness even when we know that God sees and knows everything?
- What has God taught you when he’s brought you to a place of humility?https://www.youtube.

Why being desperately poor was the best thing for my childhood =)
Why being desperately poor was the best thing for my childhood
As parents we want to give our children the very best we can. But what if you are poor? Extra Money can sometimes leave a childhood wanting. Often poverty bestows unexpected gifts.
I can totally relate to her and indeed so grateful... Meg =)
- I don't need to look at a socio-economic graph or statistics about the 1970's poverty rate to know that my family was poor. There were a lot of us: 5 kids and 2 parents living in tight quarters. In fact, quarters that used to house horses. (Our home was a converted horse stable.) My Dad was the primary wage earner, and he worked long, hard hours at a dangerous job that was prone to lay-offs when business got slow. As kids, we were no strangers to free lunch tickets, "Government Cheese" and the occasional food stamps when times were really tough.It's evident what the unpleasant side effects are about being poor. It's no fun dwelling on the negatives: worried, stressed-out parents, penny-pinching, late fines and over due notices. What's not as clear, are the positives associated with growing up broke. Here are some things I've come to recognize as pros to myunderprivileged upbringing.
1. We learned to share
We shared bedrooms, beds, belongings and bike. (Singular bike). We had one bike between all of us kids for the longest time. That was the norm, and that was OK. We learned to take turns and enjoy watching each others turns. It didn't always have to be about "me". A lot of our bike time was devoted to watching our older brother put on "Evil Knievel" shows. We loved those death-defying exhibitions. It was entertainment at its best.2. We used our imaginations
We didn't own much, so we imagined everything. We didn't have a traditional swing set, so we conjured up our own in the back of our property amidst a small grove of snarled, tangled trees. We had monkey bars, a see-saw and hanging vines to swing from. We were wild things straight out of the "Jungle Book".3. We weren't materialistic
It was a rare occasion that we were given anything brand new. We were used to getting hand-me-downs, and we appreciated them. When an aunt sent over a brown paper bag filled with neatly folded clothes passed down from a cousin, we were delighted. It was always a little like Christmas opening up those troves. Much of our clothes shopping occurred at secondhand stores. We learned to look for good bargains, and we enjoyed the hunt.4. We weren't greedy
Children love their parents. We knew our parents didn't have very much money, so we didn't want to remind them of it by constantly asking them for things we knew they couldn't afford. We learned humility. We were happy with smaller, simpler things. When we did receive something we really, really appreciated it. We knew what cost, thought and effort went into purchasing or making it, and we were grateful.5. We learned to work
If we wanted something, we worked for it. We picked strawberries by the pound in the summer for extra money and cherries and blackberries by the bucket for snacks and cobbler. When we were younger, we spent a lot of our time sitting at our plywood built, Kool-aid stand trying to drum up business (which always proved difficult since we lived at the end of a very rural road). Our Dad was usually our only customer, coming home from work, and often paying with an IOU. We loved him for it.As parents, we always want the best for our children. Generally we associate the best with "what money can buy". Ofttimes I reflect on my childhood and think I was actually_enriched_with experiences that helped me to look at the world through eyes of compassion, humility and creativity. There are excessively rich blessings born of desperately poor homes."The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials." (Chinese Proverb)
