May__________ not love the world or the things in the world (1 John 2:15).
May our sons love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God (1 John 4:7).
May our sons love one another earnestly from a pure heart (1 Peter 1:22).
May our sons, when they become husbands, love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself (Ephesians 5:28).
McGlothlin, Brooke (2011). Warrior Prayers: Praying the Word for Boys in the Areas They Need it Most (p. 33). Kindle Edition.
My marriage is going to be the main example for my boys. Mine.....and mine alone. My husband and I will teach our sons what it is to love someone else as Christ loves the church.
We are responsible for showing them what it is like to love your best friend with all you have. We are the ones who will teach them that love is a commitment, a decision, and hard work.
We are to teach them what I Corinthians 13 is all about....not just something you read at weddings.
We are to show them what it means to fight to keep a marriage strong, even when we are miles apart.
May I show my sons the kind of wife they should look for. Please, Lord, help me not to be the kind of wife my sons hope they don't have.
Lord, help me be a strong, loving and submissive (oops...there is that word!) wife. Help me to love my husband so much that he feels he is the most blessed man on earth! :)
Lord, help me continue to strive to be that Proverbs 31 wife and mom!!!!
Amen and Amen
