Today, I have an extra special treat for you. Consider it an early Valentine’s Day gift.
I’m over at Busy Being Blessed visiting with Jenn for the Encouragement for Imperfect Wives series. There you’ll find me pouring out my heart and letting you in.
You see, earlier this week I wrote about the most amazing love we can ever find. Now, in this guest post, I focus on how to experience some of this amazing love with my husband, all while passing on some marriage advice to you.
It started with an incident (or should I say, accident) that jolted me back to reality.
It was a quiet Sunday afternoon, and we were doing the usual things to prepare for the week. I was in the kitchen washing dishes when I heard the loud crash.
It turns out my husband had fallen from a ladder in the next room!
Knowing how high the ladder was, my mind immediately started racing. A flood of ‘what-if’s’ rushed over me. ‘What if he’s seriously injured?’ ‘What if he has to go to the hospital?’ ‘What if the worse has happened?’
To find out what happened next, click on over to Busy Being Blessed.
And to thank you for visiting with us today, I’m sharing a few more pointers to go along with Tip #2. You’ll get a free download with 15 extra tips to help you speak your husband’s love language. And there you were thinking you were speaking his language all along! No wonder he seemed a bit quiet 🙂

Hi Marva,
Thanks for writing this. Your posts are always so timely. As a new mommy 🙂, you can imagine that I am learning how to consider my husband above myself in the upheaval of this newness. Thanks for the reminder to cherish my hubby and that it is also a command from God.
Have a wonderful Valentine weekend.

Hi Janelle, some seasons can seem really overwhelming. Just remember you’re in it together with your awesome hubby, and give yourself a little grace. As you grow together as a new family your love for each other will grow too. Wishing you blessings, my friend!

Love the post Marva! Great reminder of our order of priorities, God first, spouse second, children third, next, extended family and everything else follows.

What an insightful post for Valentines Day, Marva. I love the last piece of advice–ask. It’s such a simple gesture and probably avoids a lot marital spats should we remember to do it. It’s just a matter of communication, and that tip (along with your others) is a great reminder of that. It was lovely of you to share this with us on #SHINEbloghop this week!
