Men, your bride is a treasure to be cherished and your family is a blessing not to be taken for granted. It's vital to love them gently, where they're at, and how they'll feel it most. Specifically, when it comes to being a husband, we men can sometimes respond harshly, even when our intentions are good. We want to solve problems, fix situations, and get to an answer as quickly as possible. Those desires aren't bad, but sometimes we forget that there may be an underlying issue that needs our gentle, loving attention. What good is solving a problem if it creates more along the way? We must care for our wives' hearts with the utmost tenderness. Sometimes we must open our eyes to that which isn't obviously visible on the surface. How? Try this. Listen intently, seek full understanding, speak compassionately, and help empathetically. And when all else fails, be patient. If you're not seeing progress, trust that it will come with time. Love your wife gently, it's one of the manliest things you can possibly do. Stay fierce, Ryan FIERCE WIFE: If you're reading this, tag your husband and let him know you're praying for him today.

Bickering divides and physical affection unites. Why not make a conscious choice to show some extra affection instead of arguing about something trivial? Something unique happens during an intentional kiss. You connect in special and exclusive ways. Consider: 1: It's hard to fake a good kiss, and when you're on the receiving end, it's hard not to feel wanted and loved. Even if you start a kiss feeling frustrated, it has a way of melting your frustration away and refocusing your heart on the one you love. 2: Heartfelt kisses have a way of disarming tension and lowering defenses. This is especially true when you catch yourselves bickering about a relatively small issue. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses and simply enjoy each other. 3: A well-timed kiss can recalibrate your friendship and soften your hearts toward one another. If you've felt disconnected, take time to intentionally reconnect. Don't expect it to happen automatically. Kissing can help facilitate the connection process. 4: Kissing is fun! Remember when you were first together... how often did you kiss? If you were like us, you probably kissed too much. You're married now! There's no such thing as too much... at least not in the privacy of your own home. Bicker less, kiss more. Sometimes it is just that simple.
