When wives get tired of homemaking



Wives, 
 
Are you tired? 

I hear it all of time. “I am so tired” These are the words frequently spoken by wives expressing a desire for their husbands to assume more household duties and increase the time they spend caring for small children.  No matter the source of your exhaustion, a tired wife is a tired wife. 

There are multiple strategies for handling this dilemma but today, I offer just one. 

If you are tired or weary
R.E.S.T.

R-read your Bible focusing on verses about resting. Share them with your husband so he can pray for you.

E-eat three healthy meals every day.  Set the table and have at least one meal with your husband present.

S-sleep. Take naps when you can and go to bed earlier at night.  

T-talk to God about your feelings during prayer and journal time. As you feel more rested, then talk to your husband. Be careful not to sink into grumbling and complaining. 

As you rest meditate on Galatians6: 9. “And let us not grow weary while dong good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” 

Wives, are you weary? 

Then take a rest… “on purpose”
