Five Ways to Keep Your Spice As A Wife

As a wife I have the responsibility to bring peace, happiness and order to my marriage. A little spice never hurt either though! How to keep that special spice alive in your marriage is a question I get asked often. After seven years of marriage, it could have been easy to fall into the trap of getting comfortable instead of continuously going the extra mile for my husband.I remember when I was newly married how people would tell me the initial fire you feel at the beginning of marriage is bound to go away. I wouldn’t accept that. I can confidently say that my husband and I are just as in love now as we were in our first year. However, I had to be intentional.I love being a wife to my amazing husband and because I am so grateful to him, I go out of my way to make his life easier. Learning just how to do this was the part that took some extra effort. Scratch that, a lot of effort! One main key you will hear me talk about, is always looking presentable.That may sound simple, but years ago I didn’t know what I did now. One of the main arguments my husband and I would have was in how I dressed. Looking back, he was right, but at the moment I believed I knew way more about how to pull an outfit together than he did! Learning what hairstyle looked best on me and how to do it myself was tricky. Learning how to do my makeup right required trial and error. It didn’t happen overnight, but I got there! And you can too.It can be easy to give up before you even start trying to learn, but I promise you it is worth it. As his wife, I help set the tone of our marriage, so if I want sparks to fly I have to be a little strategic. Knowing that men are highly visual makes me want to look all the better for him. And if I am going to be honest, knowing that I look good to him makes me feel so in touch with my femininity.The same way I set out to be an uncommon wife, is the same way I made sure that my marriage would be full of passion. I discovered that keeping the passion alive didn’t take as much work as one might think. Follow along with my key tips on how to do it, I think you’ll be surprised at how easy you can implement them!5 Ways to Keep Your Spice As a Wife:[3:42] Dance around the house for no reason.
