Cold Soup and Hot Soda...

Ugh. Is there anything more disgusting?
Now, don't get all deep on me. I realize that there are recipes for soup that is supposed to be served cold. That's not what I'm talking about.
Think about when you are hungry at work, on a chilly fall day, and all you want is a nice, hot bowl of soup. You woke up thinking about it, drove to work thinking about it and sat in your morning meeting thinking about it. You rush out during your lunch hour, order your favorite kind, and run back to the break room or to your desk only to open your carryout, grab your spoon and take a big swig of... cold soup.
Yuck...
No soup cravings? Okay, well what about soda. You are hot and thirsty and only want a nice cold can or bottle of your favorite flavor soda (mine being Pepsi!). You pick it up in the convenient store, but you decide to run a few more errands before you head home. However, when you get there, take your bra off and kick your feet up, you reach into your hand bag only to find your bottle or can of tepid, room temperature soda.
No condensation in sight.
Sigh...
That feeling of disgust and irritation about your cold soup or hot soda is the same way a lot of us #WifeStyle ladies are approaching our marriages these days.
If you can't say "amen", say "ouch"...

Revelation 3:15

 

"I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold.

I wish that you were one or the other!"

My mom used to say "If you're not gonna do it right, don't do it at all!"
Apply that saying here.
Why are you going at your marriage half-heartedly? What happened to make you burst through the gates of matrimony at full speed, only to make a few laps and begin to fizzle? Is it because you're tired? Was there some type of heartbreak that made you lose you some steam? Whatever the reasons for your mediocrity, it's time to take some long, hard looks and doing some serious thinking.
If this is the attitude you've been taking toward your man and your marriage, not only are you making yourself miserable, but you are also binding the hand of God to heal, deliver and restore. Plus, the more miserable you act, the further away your husband will drift and the more unhappy you are making your children. The phrase "happy wife, happy life" applies to you and your family at all times.
I, better than most, that being married is a very difficult things. It's enjoyable and fulfilling, but you have to fight through the foolishness in order to make it to the fab. But you aren't fighting your husband; you all need to fight together. There are no enemies in your household.
Girl, its time to change your perspective, change your attitude and change your approach. Nobody likes cold soup. Nobody likes hot soda. See that sick face up there? Even he wants you to make a choice.
Pick one and stick with it...
