Funny Texts to Send Your Wife

Whether we nurture or neglect our marriages will be determined by how we steward "small moments." Too often men fall into the trap of trying to hit a home run on Valentine's Day, birthday, anniversary, and Christmas because they've been distracted for the rest of the year.

Side Note: If you do a good job of nurturing your marriage, two things will happen with those four days listed in the previous paragraph: (1) what you do for your wife will be more meaningful because you'll know her better and (2) whether you hit a home run will be less important because you're not making up for anything.

In this post I want to offer one way to nurture your marriage. Send your wife regular texts with endearing  messages. When our wife gets a text from us, she should be excited because she anticipates an affirmation or encouragement; not stressed because she expects something to be added to her to-do list or a change to the family schedule.

Follow Up Examination: Get out your phone. Review your texts with your wife for the last 3 months. If these interactions are indicative of the functional vs. romantic interactions with your wife, what would that reveal about the health of your marriage? The reality is we are not going to reduce the amount of functional conversation life requires; we can only increase the amount of affirming-flirty-invested communication we have.

Your cell phone text history can be a place where you (a) get a tangible read on how invested you've been and (b) where you can be more intentional moving forward.

Another Reflection: Imagine for a moment that your wife's confidence and identity were built only based upon those things that she heard from you. How healthy and balance would her self-image be?

If this is an area you want to grow, I would invite you to attend one or more of the upcoming Creating a Gospel-Centered Marriage seminars. Dates, times, location, and RSVP are provided at this link.
