Pursuing Your Husband Through Self-Care Feb 22, 2017

Show notes

Half way through the month, we've explored many practical ways of pursuing your husband from having fun and unique date nights to showing love through his love language.
These are all things we do to our husbands, but there are some things we can do to ourselves that will help pursue them.
That is through taking care of ourselves according to our husbands' preferences.

As wives and mothers, we are called to take care of our husbands, our children and our homes.
But if we're not well, whether it be physically, emotionally or spiritually, we cannot take care of our families well.
For me, I hate being sick. Not just because I don't wanna feel miserable, but because I can't really care for my family when I'm laying in bed sick.
I love the quote that says, "You can't pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first."
How true is that?!
Often times, when I don't read the Bible or when I haven't had a me-time in a while, I become short with my kids. I yell and I spank out of anger - not something I wanna do at all.
But if I spend a couple hours reading the Word and/or strolling through my favorite local consignment store, I come home refreshed and my heart is at a much better place - I am ready to jump right back to serving my family in love.
By taking care of ourselves, we are taking better care of our families.
Besides, I want people to respect my husband because I carry myself in a graceful, polished manner ;)

Honey, Do You Like My Hair Done This Way?

When it comes to self-care, I wanna encourage you to take your husband's preference into serious consideration because some of what you do can be used as means to pursue your husband.

We've talked a lot about pursuing our husbands this month - a lot of it is about lifting him up and helping him become the man God wants him to be and also about prioritizing him and making him feel loved, valued, and respected. Some of the biggest and easiest ways of doing so is through dressing ourselves in ways that your husband finds attractive.
Does he like your hair done a certain way?
Does he prefer your natural hair color?
Does it drive him crazy (in a reaaally good way. wink.) when you wear a certain underwear?
It is important to consider his preferences because he's the man you're ultimately trying to please. You're not married to the latest trend; you're married to your husband.
Here's what I'm not saying: I'm not saying that you can only dress in ways your husband finds attractive. I'm not saying you cannot have your own personality/preferences in your appearance. My point is that when you take an extra effort to care for yourself in ways that your husband loves, not only will you be able to care for your family better, it will also do your marriage good.

Here's an example: I love skinny jeans but my husband loves me in a fitted t-shirt and flared jeans. And so when I'm shopping for jeans, I'll look through both their skinny jeans and flared jeans collection. If there's a pair of flared ones that I like, guess what, I buy them and wear them around Grant and he can't get his hands off me. True story.

So here's what you can do today: ask him what he likes.
Find out what he prefers. Pick one and make it happen this week.
To help you get started, here's a list of questions you can ask your husband.

1) How do you like my hair done?
2) What do I wear that you find the most attractive?
3) What do you find unattractive when it comes to how I dress/wear my makeup?
4) Do you like the perfume I wear? Is it too strong?
5) Is there an undergarment you wish I'd get rid of?
6) What type of underwear do you want to see me in?
7) Would you prefer my nail colors to match my outfit?
8) Do you prefer my private part shaved?

In addition to asking him questions and finding out what he likes, here are some bonus ideas for self-care:

1) Go through your undergarments, throw away the old and unsexy ones. Get new ones that will turn your husband on. (One word of caution: if your husband struggles with provocative images, I'd recommend refraining from ordering through Victoria's Secret's online store. I say that because they will mail you their catalogs frequently once you order online. So if you wanna protect your husband's eyes, make a trip to the mall instead of ordering online.)
2) Paint your nails - It's amazing how painting my nails can make me feel so polished. It's a mood booster! (I prefer the nail colors from Essie and Rimmel. I find them to be more chip-resistant, because... #momlife.)
3) Use hair serum - this is a quick way to add shine and smooth out the frizzy hair so you look more put together in seconds.
4) Use dry shampoo - let's be honest. There are days we don't shower, when that's the case, dry shampoo will be your best friend because it absorbs the grease in your hair and freshens up your hair.
5) Ask your husband or a friend to watch the little ones for a couple hours - having this me-time will allow you to come home feeling refreshed and ready to love on your family.
6) Be active - exercising keeps you in shape. Your body will also release endorphins which will lift your mood up and release stress. These are all great reasons to be active.

Pursuing your husband can be as easy as taking care of yourself well. So don't forget about yourself, friend ;)

PS On a related note, I highly recommend listening to my friends' podcast episode on Bringing Sexy Back After Stretch Marks & Diaper Duty. It's a great listen!

Pursuing God With Your Husband Feb 17, 2017

Show notes

Imagine you and your husband have tied your shoes together.
You can't go anywhere very far unless he moves with you.
But if your steps are in sync and you have the same destination in mind, you can go very far.

What is it like for you two when it comes to pursuing God?
Are your steps in sync or do you keep tripping over each other because you're not acting as ONE?

Back in the fall of 2013, Grant and I were ready to have kids.
(To be honest, I had been ready for a while before Grant was. But God surely gave me peace about waiting for Grant to be ready as well.)
For months we'd wait with much anticipation, hoping to see 2 pink lines.
7 months passed and we were still waiting.
I started to question my body, "is there something wrong with me?!"
"Are we one of the few infertile couples?!"
After meeting with my OBGYN doctor who reassured me sometimes it just takes awhile to get pregnant, Grant and I held our hands and prayed together.

And guess what? We got pregnant right after we prayed as ONE.

God heard our prayers. He granted us our desire.
And I strongly believed it was because we sought Him as one.

This is why I encourage you to pursue God together as a married couple.
You have become ONE as soon as you were married.
It only makes sense for you to pursue God together as one unit.

How to Seek God Together When You Don't Have Time

With a little creativity, it is totally doable.

Family Prayer Walk/Hike
Pray with your husband as your kiddos are busy burning their energies off. Boom.

After Dinner Coffee Hour
Carrie of He Says She Says sits down for coffee with her husband every night after dinner.
I encourage you to steal her idea and be intentional in setting aside an hour after dinner for you and your husband to talk and pray.
It might take a few days for your kids to get used to this new normal, but if you're consistent in protecting this time, your marriage will reap great benefits from it.
[Of course, you can totally customize this. If the morning hours work better for ya, go for it. Or, perhaps, you're not big into coffee. How about tea? Beer? Protein shake???]

Commute + Communicate
Is there a commute you take with your husband regularly?
My in-laws live 2 hours away and we visit them probably (at least) once every 2 months. My children are still at the age where they nap in the car, so we try to be on the road during nap time. That way we get some quiet time to talk, pray and read the Bible together if we feel led.

Dedicate a Seek + Pray Date Night
Perhaps instead of dong something fun for date night, your marriage could use a time dedicated to praying and seeking after God. Get a babysitter and go somewhere quiet without many distractions and just pray. Grant and I have done that and it was always very refreshing.

If Your Husband Does Not Believe...

I realize that not every one reading this has a husband that also believes in God.
If that's you, I encourage you to become your husband's fiercest prayer warrior.
Pray for his salvation without ceasing.
I know God hears and I know God wants everyone to enter His Kingdom.
So don't give up on hope. Pray, pray, and pray.
God can work mightily and turn your husband's heart toward Him.

In short, don't neglect the power you have as one unit.
Your marriage (and your kids, really) will benefit greatly if you seek after God as ONE.
How will you pursue God together this week?

40+ Ways to Speak His Love Language Feb 15, 2017

Show notes

We are the most natural in speaking our own love language.
Interestingly enough, our husbands often speak a different love language.

When we love through our own love language but the other party doesn't seem to receive the love like we expect them to, we can experience hurt and sometimes conflicts can arise.
To avoid that, we should learn to speak our husbands' love language so that our love is received well.

Practical Ways to Speak His Love Language

Physical Touch

Give him massages (full body/back/scalp/foot)
Give him "just because" hugs + kisses
Give him hugs + kisses as you thank him
Hold his hands when you're talking to him
Have your leg be touching his when you're sitting together
Brush his back when you're sitting together
Run your fingers through his hair
Look him in the eyes when you talk

Acts of Service

Do his chore
Pack his lunch
Take his car in for an oil change
Take his car for a car wash
Is there something he's been procrastinating? Can you do it for him?
Run errands for him

Take his suit to the dry cleaner

Words of Affirmations

Write him an encouraging letter
Slip a note in his lunch bag (we have these 30 gorgeous notes you can print off)
Brag about him in front of his friends & family
Text him something that affirms him 5 days in a row
Praise him in front of your kids
Thank him for the sacrifices he makes for the family
Following Philippians 4:8, write down everything about him that is pure, true, just, worthy of praise, etc and give it to him
Ask his friends & family to write something they appreciate about him

Quality Time

Surprise him with a date night
Surprise him with a getaway or a staycation
Go for a walk in the woods with him
Share an appetizer at a piano lounge
Invite friends over for a game night
Don't look at your phone when he's in the room
Have lunch with him on a weekday
Do something he enjoys without complaint
Spend time with his side of family

Gifts

Make a special dessert or drink for him
Surprise him with a trip to see his best buddies
Take him to a fancy restaurant
Get him his favorite candy
Give him a fruit tree/shrub
Name a constellation after him
Surprise him with tickets to see his favorite sports team

How to Pursue Your Husband When He's Away A Lot Feb 13, 2017

Show notes

Pursuing your husband is not easy,
it's even harder when he's away a lot.
If this is your season right now, I'm right there with you.
My husband works a lot of hours each week,
making family time few and precious.
But be assured that pursuing him is totally doable!!

Before I get to the practical stuff, I want to encourage you that:

For everything, there is a season.
This is probably just one of the seasons you're in.
Remember life is made up of many different seasons.
It may be hard now but God is faithful; when it's the right time, He will bring you out.
While you're in this season, figure out how to use this time fully.
Ask God what He wants to teach you and how He wants to use you.
Perhaps now would be a good time to invest in friendships with other wives in the same season as you.
Or perhaps now would be a good time to disciple a younger woman of faith.
Ask God how you could use your time well when your husband is away.

Make a mental note of what God's been teaching you.
Not only is He sanctifying you in this process, He can also use you to encourage other wives who are going through the same thing.
Write it down in your journal if it will help you remember better.
I know for me I've been blessed by other women who have gone through what I'm going through (regardless of what it is), I know He can use YOU to bless others as well.

Don't take your frustrations out on your husband.
I know It's hard when he's not home.
I know you feel like a single parent when you have little kids to take care of and train up.
But if it's hard for you, it's probably hard for him too.
Don't get lost in your frustrations and forget that you're a team.
Lay down your pointing finger and figure out how to BE one.

Practical Ways to Pursue Your Husband When He's Away A Lot

Study him.
Pursuing your husband starts with knowing him. Keep a journal and write down everything you've learned about him. Observe him and ask him questions. Don't stop just because you feel like you know everything about him after 10 years of marriage. People change - you might be surprised to learn a new thing or two about him. To help you study your husband, I have 50+ questions typed up for you that cover a variety of topics. Download it for free here.

Text him something fun, encouraging and affirming.
We have this awesome freebie for you that gives you 30 gorgeous picture-text to send to your husband. They are fun and encouraging texts that affirm him in what he does, shower him with love and are... saucy (wink wink). These fun texts will help you pursue him even if he's hundreds of miles away. Get the picture-texts for free here.

Take advantage of technology
Technology brings people closer, it can certainly bring you and your husband closer!

There are multiple apps that allow you to make audio and/or video calls for free (even if you're in different countries). IE What'sApp, Skype, Line, FaceTime.
Use stickers or GIFs when you text. I love how they show your personality and it is just so much fun when you use them.
Play a game together. There are games that you can both participate in even if you're not online at the same time. Back when I was in college, I'd play Draw Something and Words with Friends with Grant (remember these apps that took over the internet for a while?!?!) Go to your app store, search "multiplayer games" and you might find something you both enjoy :)
Send pictures of what you're up to! Connecting can be as simple as that :) Sometimes I send Grant photos of the kids if we're out and about or if the kids are doing something cute.

Start a convo journal
I've heard of couples who do this: because the husband packs his own lunch to work, the wife sticks a little journal in there. The journal is for little conversations they have and the husband can write in it during his lunch break. How cute is that?!

What about you? How do you pursue your husband when he's away a lot?

Why You Need a Gospel Community for Your Marriage Feb 10, 2017

Show notes

In the book Song of Songs, there's a group of friends who rejoiced with and protected the married couple.

We also need such friends in our lives to help celebrate our marriages and help protect them.
We're not meant to do life alone. Especially when it comes to marriage - one of the most important relationships we have - we need all the support we can get.

When we surround ourselves in a Gospel community who cares about our marriages, we have people who:
- speak truth to us, and help us filter out our emotions so we can think logically.
- encourage us, and
- help us and pray for us.

Iron sharpens iron,
and one man sharpens another

— Proverbs 27:17

I know for myself that my friends have definitely helped me grow in my marriage during the last 5 years.

If you're not in a Gospel community, I encourage you to seek one.
Here's a couple ways you can plug yourself into Gospel community.

Ways to Plug Yourself into Gospel Community

1) Be involved in a community group with a church that believes in the Gospel
"Shop around" for a church that teaches the Truth - the first step in doing so is to visit their website and read their statement of faith.
Once you've identified churches with sound doctrines, visit them physically and ask them about community groups (or small groups). Try them out and see if

2) Spend time intentionally with friends who believe in the sacredness of marriage
Grant and I spend every Monday evening with our guy friends and girl friends respectively. It's a time set aside for us to connect with them. The structure is super casual - sometimes we just talk about what we're going through, sometimes we read a book together, sometimes we just pray. The point is to spend time together - learning, growing and encouraging each other. I'm very thankful for this group because they've been there for us through the ups and downs and they've definitely spoken truth to me when I needed someone to talk some sense into me.

What to Do When You're in Life Transitions

Maybe you've been in a great Gospel community but you're currently in transitions.
Maybe you've been trying to find solid Christ-centered community but have yet to find one.
If this is the case, I want to encourage you to persevere. Pray for God to put godly women in your life. And then pray again. And again. And again. And again. At the right timing, He will put you in the right community.

While nothing beats real life interactions, an online community can also be a great way to connect with other Christ-centered women when you're in transitions.
We have a private Facebook group called Indwelt Women where women like you get encouragement daily and pray for each other. It's such an awesome community we'd love to have you join us. Become a part of the group here.

How to Fight Less and Be on the Same Team as Your Husband Feb 08, 2017

Show notes

You can make him his favorite food,
you can make him the happiest man in the bedroom,
but, some days, when nothing seems to lift his spirit up,
that's when you need to be his prayer warrior more than ever before.

...they are no longer two but one flesh.

— Matthew 19:6

Grant and I just celebrated our 5th anniversary (say whaaa?!).

In our 5 years of marriage, we've walked through patches of dry land.

There were days when I've felt unheard because he didn't seem to register what I was trying to tell him.

There were also days when I've felt helpless because nothing I did seem to lift his spirit up.

If you've been married for even just a short amount of time, you know what I'm talking about.

You wanna be helpful, you wanna make him happy, you want the best for your marriage but you have no idea what you can do to help.

I want to share a word of wisdom/warning:
if you get frustrated in situations like this, do not - I repeat, do not - channel your frustrations at him.

By doing that, you are only drawing a bigger wedge between you and him;
by doing that, he is more likely to withdraw from you and you are more likely to have conflicts.

Not something you wanna do, right?

Yes, it can be frustrating (I've totally been there), but here's what you can do instead.

1) Instead of vocalizing your thoughts to him, lay them all down to God.

God knows what's going on. God knows what's on your heart.
Knowledge it to Him and let Him filter your emotions.
Holding on to frustrations will do nothing, but surrendering it to God will give you the freedom to really help your husband.

2) Become your husband's prayer warrior.

When you take out your frustrations at him, you become his enemy standing against him.
But when you become his prayer warrior instead, you have now come alongside him.
It shows him that you are on his side, that you will walk through this difficult season with him.
By showing him you're on the same team through thick and thin (like you promised in your wedding vows), he will draw closer to you.
This storm that you're in will less likely tear you down because you are together.

Are you ready to be his prayer warrior?
It doesn't take much. All it means is that you commit to lifting him up in prayers.
Pray regularly for his heart, for his well-being on his behalf.
God who eagerly listens to you will hear you and answer you.

I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
incline your ear to me; hear my words.

— Psalm 17:6

To establish the habit of praying regularly for your husband, I suggest designating a time/place that you frequent on the daily basis.

Do you wait in the pick up line at your kid's preschool? That might be a good time to pray for your husband.
Do you stop at Starbucks' drive thru every morning? Say a quick prayer for your man as you wait.
Do you do a load of laundry every day? Make it a habit to pray for him as you fold his clothes.

The point is to sneak prayers in during your regular activity.
(Cause I know it's hard trying to find an extra 5 minutes to sit and pray for him.
For us mamas of small kids, it probably won't happen.)

By establish this habit, you have become his prayer warrior every day.

Friends, we are called to pray without ceasing.
There will be seasons when there's really nothing you can do to change your circumstance except to pray.

Make it your choice to be your husband's prayer warrior and be his best support.

And I'm super excited to see how God works mightily in answering your prayers.
Be sure to share with me any prayer praises either by leaving a comment here or by emailing me at maggie@everleighcompany.com

The #1 Thing You Need to Pursue Jesus Jan 30, 2017

Show notes

This month I've been sharing tips and resources to help you spend more time with Jesus.
You can read them here, here and here.

But I need to be honest with you and you might hate me for it:

I could give you ideas after ideas about how to get more time with Jesus,
but if your heart is not in it,
nothing of what I say will impact you in any way.

You've got to be disciplined in your pursuit of Jesus.

If you're like me (I'm a total feeler), you may rely on your feelings for when you'll read the Bible.

But pursuing Jesus is not just a touchy-feely thing,

it takes discipline; it takes self control and obedience.

Some days the feelings might come rushing at you, but some days they may not be there at all.

That's when we need to be obedient in nurturing our relationship with Jesus.

When you pick up the Bible instead of neglecting it, your obedience will be rewarded.

And the feelings will come, trust me. (It also helps if you pray for the desire to read His Word)

Let me share with you some verses that will help you in spiritual disciplines.

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

— Psalm 63:1

You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

— Jeremiah 29:13

For it is no empty word for you, but your very life, and by this word you shall live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”

— Deuteronomy 32:47

but his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.

— Psalm 1:2-3

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

— 2 Timothy 3:16

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

— Colossians 3:16

I know - I know - that if you're in the busy season of young children, you don't get much time to read.

But let it be a blessing in disguise.

You only got 5 minutes? Perfect. Use those 5 minutes to dwell on ONE verse.

Just ONE. Let yourself immerse in the Word, dwell on it, meditate on it, chew on it.

If you could use help using the little pockets of your time to read the Word,
you need our Indwelt Bible Study Guide: Bite-Sized Study for Wrung-Out Moms.

It is designed to break verses down into 1 to 2 verses at a time, and that's all you read for the day.
