Better Than Newlyweds

Where the Honeymoon never ends!

Do you have your husband’s back? | Stacy Hudson | Better Than Newlyweds

September 26, 2016 by Mrs. Hudson

Do you have your husband’s back? I am not just talking about defending him when someone says something mean about him. I am talking about fighting spiritual battles with him as if they were your own. After all, they are yours aren’t they? When you got married you became one. When (not if) the devil attacks your husband it will affect your marriage and eventually you. How it affects your marriage and you…is up to you.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10
The devil wants to cause division in your marriage. He knows this is the key to division between you and God using your marriage as a wedge. He wants you to feel alone and on your own so that you become bitter towards your husband and then God. He wants you to continue to think it is your husband you are fighting. When you are fighting each other no one can win because you are on the same team. The devil wants to convince us that we are on opposite sides as soon as we get married. If we can be convinced of that we will forget that we are actually fighting him. A marriage like that is in self destruct mode and he won’t even have to work that hard to cause division between spouses and eventually between each of them and God.

How can you be sure to have your husband’s back?

It has to start with a renewing of our minds. We need to change our mindset about fighting. One train of thought that needs to be derailed is that because you are married you have to have big blow out fights! I imagine most of us picture ourselves fighting face to face and having a screaming match with our words. This is what is portrayed in movies and TV shows but I don’t think this is the heart of God for marriage. Our tongues have the power of life and death and I think we all too often do not use enough care with our words. I think this sometimes stems from not caring enough to listen with our ears first. Most of us would probably choose different words if we listened first then thought of our response instead of thinking of our response while they are talking.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Proverbs 18:21
let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;
James 1:19
I would like you to imagine a new way of fighting. Picture yourself back to back with your husband. It would be much harder to have a screaming match with each other while back to back right? That is the point. The sooner we adopt this “back to back” posture, the sooner our focus can go where it belongs.
“And one standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer; three is even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12
Our focus should be fighting the devil, together, as a unit. When we change our position from face to face to back to back we are humbling ourselves and resisting the devil’s attempt at division. If we are constantly fighting each other… we are doing his work for him. But if we instead would have each other’s backs… and together resisted him… he would have to flee.
But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 
James 4:6,7
I do not think it is an accident that God “gives grace to the humble” and then gives us the formula for making the devil flee. The formula starts with submitting to God and then resisting the devil…and he will flee. As a married couple… to change our way of fighting… would be humbling. In the middle of an argument for me to stop and say… “you know what?! It doesn’t matter if I am right because the devil is wrong for attacking my marriage!”… would be humbling. It would shift the focus off of me and back to we.

No one else can have your husband’s back like you can!

We must be purposeful and determined to stand back to back with our husband wearing our armor with swords drawn ready to fight the real enemy. And when (not if) our husbands gets tired we must be willing to fight for them. It is really an honor for me to fight with my husband for our marriage instead of bragging rights. No one else on the planet has the position in my husband’s life that I do. I always want him to know and feel like I have his back.
 “And one standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer; three is even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12
“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” Ephesians 6:11-13
The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain.
Proverbs 31:11
Marriage is the only bond that is a walking representation of Jesus and His bride, the church. If things seem a bit harder after saying “I do” it is because when a couple says “I Do” they become a target. If the devil can keep us focused on “me me me”, he wins.  If we can flip the “me” over to a “we” the devil will flee. 
If the devil can keep us focused on “me me me”, he wins. If we can flip the “me” over to a “we” the devil will flee.

Reviving the Intimacy in Your Marriage | Stacy Hudson | Better Than Newlyweds

September 12, 2016 by Mrs. Hudson

Reviving the intimacy in your marriage was probably not something you thought about when you were newlyweds. Let’s be honest, at the start of a marriage the endorphins are pumping and all is right in the world. The pressures of the outside world don’t affect a marriage as much in the beginning. Somewhere along the way things change. At some point “Look he left his socks on the floor! He is such an adorable mess!” changes to “SOCKS! on the floor! AGAIN!”.  And the same thing happens with whatever things our husbands saw as cute in the beginning.

As simple as socks on the floor may sound…this issue… compounded with other more serious issues (that arise as a marriage progresses) can affect the intimacy in a marriage. I am not just talking about sex. I am talking about every level of intimacy. The bills pile up or the kids are all sick and suddenly you realize you and your husband have not had a moment alone in weeks. You notice that you can’t even remember the last time you held his hand or even asked him how his day was. Some intimacy has slipped away.

Intimacy slips away sometimes because of things we can’t control and other times because of things we can control.

Intimacy slips away when the kids are sick or someone has to work overtime. It also slips when we choose to spend time on our phones/computers or with friends rather than our spouse. Kids getting sick or work are things we can’t usually control. How we spend our time, on the other hand, is something we can control.

It is important to establish habits, boundaries, and expectations that will revive the intimacy in your marriage.

Using a tool such as *Covenant Eyes to set up healthy boundaries and build trust is a good place to start. {*I have included my affiliate link here because I really believe you could benefit from it}

My husband and I are blessed. We both have had a tremendous example set for us by our parents who have been married over 40 years. One expectation or boundary we learned from our parents is to “never go to bed angry”. Before we got married I never thought much about this line my mom would say often. Because, after all, we didn’t fight… ever really. I know now that THAT was the all the endorphins pumping.

After we got married I realized why she said it so much. It is such a simple yet important thing for a marriage. If we had not had this expectation/boundary in place early in our marriage I know that our relationship would not be what it is now. I know that our communication and intimacy level would have suffered because of a lack of communication and intimacy when we needed it most. I am excited to share with you some more marriage insight from my amazing mom.

I remember when our kids were young they each had had activities they were involved in. I was always on the road getting them where they needed to be. They were all playing ball one summer and all on different teams. That was a busy summer. They also had piano lessons ,gymnastics, and sports during the school year. I was totally involved in keeping it all going. The kids had become the real focus of my life. I didn’t realize I had neglected my husband and our marriage.

One night my husband and I talked all night and shared our feelings. He felt neglected. I was so busy with the kids that I didn’t have any energy to put into our marriage. We needed to reconnect as husband and wife. We needed to work together to keep things on an even keel. We needed to save energy and time for our marriage. We needed to make each other a priority again. That was a turning point in our lives. We have been married 42 years in October. Our children are grown and have good lives. We have 2 grand daughters and life is good. We are very happy. I am thankful for that long night many years ago when we took time out to work on our marriage. Thank God we did.

I am thankful for that long night many years ago too. Because my parents made the choice to invest in their marriage I am reaping the benefits in my marriage. And now our daughter will reap the benefits of their choice as well. It is a powerful thing to see generation after generation not just still married after 40 years but also still in Love.

I am blessed to have an online friend across the globe in South Africa. Ailie Baumann writes at www.p3alive.com. I asked her to share about the issue of intimacy in her marriage. I am always so blessed when those who have been married longer than we have share their wisdom. The Bible does instruct us to teach young women right? I do my best to learn… and to teach…because at my age I am stuck somewhere in the middle.

“Older women likewise are to be… teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored” (Titus 2:3-5).

Ailie shared with me that…

“About four years ago, I was confronted with the lack of intimacy in my marriage. I saw that my husband needed encouragement and affirmation. Our middle boy was only a few months old at the time. That Christmas, God led me to a random Christian blog post that talked about an intimacy box. This lady used it more for sexual intimacy as a way to save her marriage from divorce. My marriage was far from divorce but I still felt God prompt me to create my own intimacy box for my husband as a Christmas present.

I went and got several trinkets and goodies for foot spas, massage, coffee at home and some of my hubby’s favourites. I wrote him a love letter and told him I was committing to give him 30 days of intimacy.

At first I was adamant about 30 consecutive days, hubby had other ideas. Seeing my heart and loving me for it, he told me to just give him 30 days even if they weren’t consecutive. The results were incredible. Our hearts bonded deeper with each other. I learned much about sacrificial love. After several weeks, my hubby began to reciprocate back. The result was a deeper level of intimacy and deeper friendship. It truly was a God-idea.

What an amazing thing to do for her husband. I know that at the beginning of our marriage I left more sweet notes for my husband. I know we both did more thoughtful things. It is not that we care any less about each other now… it’s just our minds are consumed with other thoughts. And even though they are good thoughts, mostly about our daughter, it affects our intimacy. I want our daughter to reap the same benefits I am because we decided to invest in our marriage. I want us to be better than when we were newlyweds. That isn’t just some cute name I came up with for my blog. It is the cry of my heart for our marriage…for every marriage.  I can leave more notes. I can make more of an effort. I think we all can. And I think it will be worth it.

How to Balance Marriage and…everything else! | Stacy Hudson | Better Than Newlyweds

August 8, 2016 by Mrs. Hudson

Learning to balance marriage and…well everything else… is harder than I thought it would be…yanno…when I thought about marriage and I was single and naive about marriage!

I had no clue what it meant to balance marriage and everything else. At that point I doubt I even considered the balancing act adding a child to my marriage would require. We are at a point in our lives where we are busier than ever. This means that we must make each other a priority now more than ever. If we do not do this I think a few things would happen. We would lose each other in the blur of life. We would not be showing our daughter what a Godly marriage looks like, especially in busy times.

I’ve sought out advice on how to balance marriage and everything else from wives who have been married longer than me. I have learned a lot over the past 5 years of marriage but I know I will always have more to learn. 

Allie of www.p3alive.com shares her thoughts on keeping a strong marriage amidst the demands of parenthood:

Being a family of five has come with its challenges. Often I feel pulled in different directions doubting myself as a wife and a mom. How do you keep a strong marriage amidst the demands of parenthood? Often sacrificially. I ask God “what does my husband need today?” I follow what I feel is God’s reply. Sometimes it means keeping quiet, sometimes it’s space, and other times it’s acts of kindness and love. Yes, its hard. I have had to put my needs aside often to build my hubby up. I remind myself that the best gift I can give my children is a happy marriage. Marriage is all about unconditional and sacrificial love. It’s about laying your life down for your spouse and watching your marriage flourish.

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

Another thing I have learned is to not get on the whose right and whose wrong wagon. It doesn’t matter. What matters is heart connection. What am I doing to keep my heart connected to my spouse.
As 1 Corinthians 13 says love keeps no record of wrongs.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.  1 Corinthians 13:4-8

In order to successfully balance marriage and everything else you must set priorities.

Setting priorities and being able to keep them is a game changer in marriage. I think it is a game changer in life. Period. Making sure those priorities are in the right order is key. In a marriage with children it is easy to fall into the mindset of putting the children first. It sounds like a good and noble thing to do, right? While it may feel like that I really think in the long run it is not good for your marriage or your children. One day your kid(s) won’t be there and if you have not cultivated your marriage for those 18+ years they are around… you will have no fruits to show for all of those years. If you have not watered your marriage while you also raised children… you will end up in a desert rather than a lush forest. Which place would you rather be? 

Liz from My Messy Desk shares about setting the right priorities and making needed changes:

While my priorities never change – God, husband, kids, self, vocation, serving others – the time and attention required by each of those differs with the seasons and ages.

Both the beginning and the end of the school year are opportune times to fine tune my schedule. So are, New Years Day, every time we move, and when my hubby deploys or comes home.

Intentionally focusing on my priorities from God’s perspective brings clarity, purpose, and increased productivity. And that makes for a much healthier and happier me.

So, I want to share with you the questions I ask myself at these points of pause when I overhaul my schedule.

    1. What is going well in my life?
    2. Where could I stand to make some improvements?
    3. What important tasks keep getting pushed to the bottom of my to-do list?
    4. What am I doing that doesn’t align with my priorities or add value to my life?
    5. Are there any new inherent responsibilities during this season?
    6. Have any previous commitments expired freeing up time for other opportunities?
    7. Which of my priorities requires the greatest investment of time now?
    8. When are my most productive blocks of time?
    9. What do I need more of to feel fulfillment in my life?
    10. What is draining my energy, inspiration, or delight with the life I’m living?

I block off time to spend in prayer and ask God to guide my thoughts and responses in accordance with His purposes. Then I journal the answers as they relate to each of my priorities. To help guide you through the process I created a free printable worksheet just for you.

*Download your free printable here: Makeover My Schedule Worksheet.

Eventually, the time comes to make hard decisions. Some things must go. It’s inevitable. But the blow is softened when this intentional process ensures that what remains or is added aligns precisely with God’s priorities for my life.

Prayer as a priority helps us balance marriage and everything life throws at us.

Because we value prayer, it has become a priority in our marriage.We pray together each night before the baby goes to sleep. This is something we started before I got pregnant. It changed our marriage. We are now teaching our daughter the importance of prayer. She even knows now that when Daddy says “In Jesus’ Name” that it’s time to say “Amen!” and she does so with joy!

Amanda from newlifeovernight.com shares about their nightly routine and what keeps their marriage strong:

One thing that keeps my marriage strong with kids and work is that every night after we put the kids to bed, we make sure that we spend time together. We get our showers and watch TV in bed or read in bed together. We say a prayer together and read a chapter in the Bible. This helps keep our marriage strong.

Another thing that helps us balance marriage and everything else is … date nights!

While it is hard to make the time sometimes…we know that date nights are important. We are very blessed and live close to both sets of grand parents! Both sets Love keeping our daughter and we try to drop her off and have a date night at least once a month. It doesn’t always work out and sometimes we end up having date night at home. No matter how or where it happens we both know that by being alone and able to focus on one another on a date… reconnects us and keeps our Love tanks full.

How do you balance marriage and everything else?! What ways do you continue to date in your marriage? 

If this helped you please share it with a friend… or even better…. your spouse! 😀 Thanks!

HOW TO PRAY FOR YOUR MARRIAGE | Stacy Hudson | Better Than Newlyweds

August 1, 2016 by Mrs. Hudson

Learning how to pray for your marriage is pivotal for the success of your marriage. When you go through trials in your marriage (notice I said  “when” not “if”) prayer will be your greatest weapon and defense against the plot of the enemy. You need to understand how to pray for your marriage so that you can use your “weapon” properly.

When you pray for your marriage do not jump right to the part where you ask God for something.

I think we all tend to do this. However, that puts the focus on us and our needs instead of Him and how wonderful He is. We need to approach prayer with an attitude of praise.  We then need to repent before we ask God for anything. And lastly, we need to yield to His will and His plan for our lives and those we Love.

how to pray for your marriage pray praise repent ask yield

Praise puts the focus on God and who He is. When you pray for your marriage lift Him up and glorify His name above any other. In doing so you bow your heart to all that He is and reaffirm your faith in His goodness and His will. His will is that your marriage would thrive. His will is that your holy covenant would be an example of His Love for His bride, the church. Before you come to Him asking for something, complaining, or wondering why things are how they are… declare who He is. Who He is does not change because you and your husband are fighting. So as you fight for your marriage declare His faithfulness, His goodness, His surpassing greatness, and His victory in your marriage!

Psalm 150
1 Praise the Lord.[a]
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
4 praise him with timbrel and dancing,
praise him with the strings and pipe,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6

Repentance is a key element when you pray for your marriage.

Not only does this turn our hearts back to God and make us new again but it also reminds us that, like our spouse, we are human and mess up. Repenting is a humbling experience. In order for our hearts to be fully surrendered to God we must let go of the sins that bind us. If we want “times of refreshing” to come in our marriages we must repent.

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, Acts 3:19

Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. Rev. 2:5

But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. Romans 2:5

While you pray for your marriage ask God for the desires of your heart.

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:4-7

Supplication translated from the Hebrew and Greek words is “a request or petition”. Make your requests know to God. Pour out your heart to Him and share with Him your desires for your marriage and your spouse. God already knows what is on your heart so do not hold anything back.

Yield to God when you pray for your marriage.

If you give praise, repent, and make your requests known to God but then neglect to yield to Him and His will for your marriage… you will continue to face the same struggles and trials. When we trust God and yield our lives to Him fully He is able to move and do what only He can do.

I don’t know about you but I want God to be able to move freely in my marriage. I have a feeling that since you are here reading this that you do too. In order to get to a place where we are able to yield to God we must grow in our faith starting with our praises. We must declare His goodness always and know that He fights for us. There will be times when we feel overwhelmed fighting the devil. Let me share something with you that I just understood completely for the first time. We are not meant to fight the devil… only to first submit ourselves to God and then resist the devil… and he will flee. God will fight for us we need only to be still. 

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:14

Trusting God in the valleys of marriage is not an option, it’s a must. | Stacy Hudson | Better Than Newlyweds

June 27, 2016 by Mrs. Hudson

Trusting God in the valleys of marriage is not an option, it’s a must. That is, if you want to make it out of the valley. If you like it there the enemy of your soul is more than happy to keep you comfortable. I have a feeling that deep down no one really wants to stay in the valley. However, I do believe God will use every valley to reveal Himself to us and bring us closer to His heart… if we let Him. 

Recently, I was listening to a song that mentioned being in a valley and this image hit me. I saw a dry hot valley that was suddenly flooded and filled with water rising to the mountaintops! It got me thinking about how we try to climb out of the valleys of marriage (and life) in our own strength. When we fail we feel defeated. We feel like God has forgotten about us at our lowest point. If we would only realize that God is waiting on our surrender. That in the valleys is where we learn to trust Him deeper than ever before. Once we trust Him deeper than ever before He will take us higher than ever before. God wants to flood the valleys of marriage we find ourselves in… once we surrender to Him. He will carry us to the mountaintop in the sea of His Love, Grace, and Mercy!!!

I am blessed to have friends who are willing to share about the valleys of marriage they have gone through or are going through. These are real women talking about real valleys of marriage and how they made it through with God!

In our second year of marriage, our relationship went through a really tough time. The effects of this lasted for many years after. At the time, I wasn’t sure if our marriage would survive but I can reassure you that God never left my side. I would speak to him constantly, I would cry in his presence and I would lay myself down exhausted at his throne. I think sometimes when you feel that sheer desperation in a situation is when God comes and works His holiness. In many ways, God taught me how to pray and then wait. I had to let God do his work through both of us during that time and not try to take matters into my own hands. If you are going through a valley in your marriage then I would encourage you to pray and seek God’s way and then let go of your control and let God do what he does best.

Megan Watson – www.myfaithtree.com

 

About year 6, we went through a very rough time. Honestly, looking back, as much as it pains me to admit, it was almost 2 years of not feeling any sort of love for my husband. My biggest words of encouragement now looking back, which I often share are 1. Hang in there. It will get better again, if you don’t make it worse. 2. Your commitment in your marriage is to God and it is not in relation to your husband’s behavior. 3.Keep on serving your family and others around you. 4. Read through the Psalms. Satan is your enemy not your husband. Focus on truth and not feelings!

Nickole Perry – The Mom I Want to Be

 

Over the past five years I have been in a marriage with a man who is having a faith crisis. Regularly I can feel this separateness creeping into our marriage because of his current views towards Jesus. My heart aches and many tears have streamed down my face. While I am not out of this season in my marriage, I am finding Ps 84:5-7 seems to be God’s work right now. He is making springs in wastelands. He is changing the landscape. Through all of this, I find myself clinging to God and every promise he has ever made both to me and in the Bible. I hold tight to them. I am learning to trust him as good and faithful. My encouragement to other wives is don’t give up. Love your husband with every fibre of your being. Ask God to show you how to express your love to your husband in a way that will minister deeply to him. Hold him in the highest regard, believe in him, pray over him (even if it is in secret). Above all, pray out of love, wage war out of love not fear. Love is the greatest weapon you have. Love is God himself.

Ailie Baumann – www.p3alive.com

If you are going through valleys of marriage right now… pray.

Prayer is not the last resort. Prayer is the answer.

Ask God to show you what He wants to do in you while in the valleys of marriage. Then trust that when the time is right He will carry you to the mountaintop.

Psalm 84

1How lovely are Your dwelling places,
O LORD of hosts!

      2My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the LORD;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

      3The bird also has found a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts,
My King and my God.

      4How blessed are those who dwell in Your house!
They are ever praising You.

Selah.

      5How blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
In whose heart are the highways to Zion!

      6Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring;
The early rain also covers it with blessings.

      7They go from strength to strength,
Every one of them appears before God in Zion.

      8O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob!

Selah.

      9Behold our shield, O God,
And look upon the face of Your anointed.

      10For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

      11For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The LORD gives grace and glory;
No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

      12O LORD of hosts,
How blessed is the man who trusts in You!
