Watch out for the “Clean Up Woman”!

So I was watching an author talk about her sex goals on social media and it reminded me of what I went through this past week with my husband. I had to do a reset on my priorities when it came to my marriage. Sometimes when you have been in a relationship for a few years, you need to find out what your mate wants and what you want and come to a “happy medium”. Unless, perhaps, you want a visit from the dreaded, “Clean Up Woman” that my husband was teasing me about!!! If you too, are too young, or a little to boogie, to know who she is, take a little advice from me, you don’t want to find out. Trust me, find out what your spouse needs and try to make sure they get it. What I learned in the past week or so, is that it was easier once I was able to get rid of some unnecessary activities on my “plate”. I had to learn to say “no” to some things that I had been meaning to “purge” for a long time. It was just hard to because even though I meant well, I realized that I couldn’t be everything to everybody. I needed to give more of my time to my spouse. I made a personal goal years ago to become a more supportive spouse and I feel that God has honored that.( I Corinthians 7:4 The wife gives authority over her body to her husband and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife. Proverbs 31:11 Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.) My husband and I are a team and we have gotten through some rough periods together. I look forward to stepping forward into this season with him, trusting God to make our marriage better so we can be a blessing to others. God bless.
