If my mom were to read this, the first words out of her mouth would be “Aww…phooey.”  Our attitudes concerning marriage differ quite a bit, I would say.  I suppose that stems from the different outlooks that being married for more than 35 years (her) versus being married less than 2 years brings about. :)  But still, I enjoy having a conservative, bright, romantic, youthful outlook towards marriage and am not yet cynical enough to turn my nose up at cute little things.  Therefore, I thought this would be a great way to end the Housewife / SAHM / SAHW series.  Regardless if you’re a full time stay at home wife, mommy, or a full time employee, managing your house as best as you can, all women need encouragement in their marriage.

This has floated around for quite sometime online, and it seams that no one really knows who the author is.  Tis a shame!  I think it’s a wonderful little piece.

THE BEATITUDES OF MARRIAGE

Blessed are the husband and wife who continue to be affectionate, considerate and loving after the wedding bells have stopped ringing.

Blessed are the husband and wife who are as polite and courteous to one another as they are to their friends.

Blessed are the husband and wife who have a sense of humor. Their marriage shall be much brighter.

Blessed are the husband and wife who thank God for good things that come to them. They shall receive both good things and thankful children.

Blessed are the husband and wife who are faithful to each other and mutually helpful. God will surely guide them.

Blessed are the husband and wife who make their house a home. A place “where seldom is heard a discouraging word.” They shall inspire others to do likewise.

Blessed are the husband and wife who are good stewards of all God’s gifts. Their children will bless them and follow their example.

Blessed are the parents who abstain from drunkenness, tobacco and drugs. Their children will surely follow their example.

Blessed are the husband and wife who attend and support their church. Their children shall develop a strong faith.

Blessed is the family whose lives are a testimony of faith and hope in God. They shall be the channels through which God’s kingdom will come on earth.

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow them all the days of their lives and they shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever”. Psalm 23:6
