YHC was tired today and the 5am bell that rang for the BeechHouse Q was not so welcome. However, when the lights came on, it was time to put work in, ready or not. That’s the good thing about being the Q, you HAVE to be there. While YHC wasn’t ready, we gave it a shot and did most of what was put on the Weinke, however in true YHC Q style, modifications were needed. All was going “smoothly” until there was a need to fill up 5 minutes at the end, so why be creative and do something new when you can just recycle something else we already did?? Great times today with even better men.

Building A Healthy Marriage: Your First Steps
Posted on October 5th, 2020
Categories: Husband
>
Building a healthy marriage? It starts with good habits and intentionality. My dad wore work shoes most of the time. He had a pair of low-top steel-toe shoes that he wore with white socks and pants rolled up, if that paints a picture. He rarely wore dress shoes. Church, funerals, and weddings. That’s it. But he always polished them before he wore them.
“In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.” — Ephesians 5:28 NIV
Do My Habits Lead to a Healthy Marriage?
Also, if I am concerned about this particular detail, am I concerned enough about the details in my relationship with my wife? I don’t want short cuts in this area. A marriage that looks good on the outside but has holes in the soles will leave holes in the soul. It’s corny, but true. If my wife sees me working on every detail of my life except her, there’s a problem.
My role in my marriage is only optional in that I could have decided not to be married. That would have been stupid, but I mean that if I want to do an excellent job as a husband, I have work to do. Where are my scuffs? Maybe I’m working too much or not working enough. Maybe we do not laugh enough or we only laugh and never deal with the hard stuff in a loving and helpful way. Perhaps we need to sit in the same room for a while and have a cup of coffee.
There are times my wife looks exhausted. Do I ask how much have I been adding to the fatigue instead of carrying my weight? In my opinion, that includes her and all of the things that weigh on her. She may need physical rest, and that has a place. However, she may be emotionally or spiritually spent. In those times, I can be helpful or useless. I can spiritually guide and support, or I can watch and see where she ends up. Which way will I lean? It’ll contribute to if I have a healthy marriage or not.
