411-Real Love Takes Sacrifice

You may wonder when God is going to show up in your life.
 
In your situation. 
 
In your marriage. 
 
You may believe in God but don’t feel His love for you, or at least haven’t for a long time. 
 
Maybe you felt His love for you at first, and that is what brought you to give your life to Jesus, but slowly, things have really gotten stale. 
 
Maybe like your marriage. 
 
It was great at first. But slowly other loves entered the picture. Children. Careers. Commitments. Current events. Costs. Culture. Cars. Curtains. (Other things that also start with “C”. :)
 
Ultimately, our job is to sacrifice for our priorities. 
 
God. 
Spouse.
Kids.
Everything else.
 
If you’re not sacrificing for each (in that order), then it makes sense that you’re not feeling the love from them. 
 
I encourage you to listen with a curious heart attuned to what the Lord may be drawing you to.
 
Blessings,
Belah

Before the Delighted Wife Program:
 
"Problems with tension and unforgiveness, exhaustion from childcare, loss of connection and lack of wholehearted intimacy. Husband was extremely resentful of me. I’ve lost respect for him. Was close to divorce.

There wasn’t peace at home, kids constantly saw us arguing, I didn’t want to be at home, I was doing many things on my own with the kids because my husband didn’t want to do things with me, I was craving for other male attention who valued me.” 

After the Delighted Wife Program:           

"My heart has softened and I can now see the brokenness in my husband, that he was just a very wounded soul. He was trying to love me and wanted this marriage to work but he had no clue how to go about improving it and was instead making things worse. 

Wholehearted intimacy. Not arguing for a long time and the atmosphere has completely shifted, there is peace at home and he is a much happier and better father to the children...

Impacted everything, it turned everything around. My husband is now loving, patient, caring, and a very present and patient father.”
