Investing in Yourself for Marital Success
Investing in Yourself for Marital Success
A lady complained to a psychologist that her husband told her he no longer found her attractive. He asked her ‘What are you doing to make yourself attractive? She had no answer.
The point is, noting valid happens by chance. This includes being productive, attractive, knowledgeable, spiritually alert, etc. It doesn’t just happen. You have to invest in yourself to make it happen.
For instance, can you hold a meaningful intellectual discussion with your guest or spouse? I heard a joke about a lady who asked her spouse if Bill Clinton was the name of their new company driver. You don’t have to be a genius but you can make a little effort to stay abreast of current affairs. It can help at unexpected times.
Investing in yourself is an all-inclusive exercise. You can invest in yourself in the following areas;
– Socially
– Physically
– Intellectually
– Spiritually and more.
Socially, It is important to build profitable networks with people who build you up and help you grow. Avoid relationships that drain you with gossip and negative energy.
Physically, it is vital that you make this investment in yourself, your health, and your future. It’s not selfish to do it. It’s selfish not to do it. Queen Esther was one of the most beautiful women in her country and she still spent a year beautifying herself before she met her king. We have to ask ourselves the question, what am I doing to keep myself healthy and looking good? Do I preserve my strength and vitality with a healthy diet and regular exercise?
Intellectually, it is important to know that we stop growing mentally when we stop learning. You don’t have to be a student to learn. You can learn from mentors and books.
And most importantly spiritually; Do I spend time alone with God every day?
The more time we spend with God, the more radiant we become from His Glory.
‘And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.- John 1:14’
Ask God for grace in your area of need. His Grace is sufficient.
Stay blessed.
