Marriage can be hard. But it can also be the best thing in the world. To have the person you love by your side through thick and thin is one of the greatest things in life and can be a really rewarding experience. This blog post is for all the wives and future wives out there that are seeking a blissful marriage. This will be a quick read, so enjoy!
As most of you probably know, I am a Christian so my advice will be based on the bible. There are a lot of passages in the bible on how us wives should live and one important thing is to be a joyful wife.
When we get married, we become one flesh with our spouse and no one wants to spend their days with someone who drags them down with their negativity. In Proverbs 21:9 it says: Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife. If you are that quarrelsome wife, maybe take a moment to reevaluate your actions and see how you can do better. We should strive to bring our husbands peace and happiness. ‚A virtuous woman rejoiceth in her husband, and he shall fulfill the years of his life in peace‘ Ecclesiasticus 26:2.
So how can we be joyful wives? Here are a few tips:
1. Stay positive
This one is the key to a joyful life. Staying positive is not always easy and it’s important to develop your own strategies to master positivity. If you need help in this area, check out my article ‚The biggest tip on how to be happy‘
2. Don’t push your own ways
Oftentimes we disagree with our spouses, which is completely normal, however, don’t push your own way onto your husband. Avoiding this will not only benefit your marriage but will also make you more joyful. Sometimes you just need to trust the process.
3. Be kind
I don’t think I really need to explain this one. Kindness will bring peace and positive energy into your household.
4. Think twice before speaking
It can be really easy to just speak your mind and says whatever comes into your head, but that might not be the smartest move. Instead of saying whatever you want, you might want to consider which consequences will come from your speech.
5.
Limit the number of negative topics
Similar to the first point, the goal here is to minimize negativity as much as possible. Of course, there are serious topics that need to be discussed. What I mean is: do you really need to complain to your husband about every tiny thing that goes wrong on your day? I encourage you to think about that. If you bombard your husband with one negative thing after another, it will surely affect the both of you and your marriage. To be more joyful, try to avoid piling on negative topics.
This post is not to judge all of you. This is me calling out myself and the mistakes I have made in my relationship. I hope you can learn from my mistakes and benefit from these tips in order to be a more joyful wife! <3
