Please Help! How Do I Renew Our Love In Marriage? by sparkles2015(f): 1:44pm On Nov 19, 2015
My dear friends,my husband and i have been married for over four years and we are blessed with two children (a boy and girl). For me, our marriage has been the best so far but nearly a year ago i noticed that the game has not been as usual.

This has kept me wondering. Things my hubby would joyfully do for me before has become a thing of the past and i begin to wonder if the love is still intact or has the love faded or worn-out?

I'd like to learn from experienced ladies and gents, ways of rejuvenating love in a marriage.

We ladies tend to relax once we are in, all the touch ups and little efforts we add to make ourselves attractive and wanted are often jettisoned.

My opinion tho.

The truth is that nothing remains the same and that EVERYTHING changes. Did you expect your marriage to forever remain the same? It isn't possible. Your first and foremost priority should be the relationship you have with yourself and if you get it right everything else will fall into place.

Were you friends before marriage or was a meet up, sex and marriage.

Because after the initial passion rush has faded what keeps the marriage is friendship, children and the commitment to remain together. Never love

Excuse me!


Is she the only one in the relationship? Why is it a lady's duty to spice up a relationship? If he felt that the relationship was boring after 2. Kids why can't he spice it up rather than giving the lady that is taking care of 2 toddlers stress?

If it needed effort to get it going, it will need effort to keep it going. I don't want relationships that are based on effort, I prefer to relax. Relationships can be so easy.

I don't know what to say but I know that love just like a flower needs water/manure for continuous growth/blossom.

I think both of you may be placing ALL attention on your kids thereby ignoring yourselves..

Do you still do those stuffs you loved doing together when the kids hadn't arrived? Do you still go out together? Do you still play together? Do you still hv time for some heart to heart talks? Do you still listen to each other's concerns or you're all about the kids? Do you pray together? Eettccc...

I think you guys need to do stuffs that will rekindle the togetherness/bond or even make it stronger. ..

Or could he be getting attention from someone outside?

This is what most marriage counsellors suggest and this is also why their success rate remains so low.

Mindfulness:

No.
She should make herself more attractive, sexy and hot.

Get in shape if she added more weight.

Update her style in case she relaxed.

Update her beauty regimen in terms of getting facials done, spa, manicure, perfumes to smell nice e.t.c.

@sparkles2015,
Love is a seed, Love grows.
(A woman is in charge of any relationship/marriage) but apply wisdom and don't disrescpect your man.
Since he's your husband, i would advice you call him and you people should sit down face to face and discuss about your marriage, talk to him about how the joy of being married has faded away.
You two have to be best of friends and communicate often.

It's a good thing that you noticed this early, it shows your are wise. If this persist and you two don't find a solution to it (sorry to say) ''your position as his wife is at stak.'' Because if you ask any woman that divorced why she divorced their answer is aways ''Am not happy in the marriage.'' So you better avoid the danger in the future now that is DAY...

You have refused to understand.
There is even a bible verse that supports it.


Most beautiful women keep beauty regimens and they do it successfully so no one has an excuse.
Whats the stress in going to the spa once a month?
what is wrong with getting Facials occasionally?

I'M NOT HERE TO TRADE INSULTS OR ARGUE.

If you don't agree then let me be.

Other reasonable people will see the sense in it.

Your Bible says the following:

1 Samuel 16:7
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

1 Peter 3:3-4
Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.

Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

1 Timothy 2:9
Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire,

1 Peter 3:3
Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—

None of the bible verses you posted above speaks against a woman keeping herself clean and attractive.

since you are against it because it's stressful, then i guess your husband prefers you being dirty and unkempt. lipsrsealed

Whatever I do, I do it for myself in the first place. I am very selfish and proud of it.
I don't work out to please anyone, I do because it is fun and makes me feel fit.
I don't shower twice a day because it pleases anyone, I do it because it makes me feel refreshed.

My spouse does the same and each of us is happy.

The problem in most relationships is that the people involved expect the other to make them feel good when they are not able to do it for themselves. How can anyone make you happy if you are not able to do it for yourself?
