Soul Mates reaction
Wow, what an big response to yesterday's devotion Soul Mates about affairs. Many of you shared your story at my Another Touchy Topic post, or at the P31 devo blog, or in a private email to me.

Thank you for opening up about your experiences, and offering your heart-felt advice.

It was truly moving to read. And it made we want to forget my pet peeves, get over my irritations and drop my demanding expectations of them and just throw my arms around my husband and family and hold them close.

I want you to know that I got on my knees in the floor of my office yesterday and prayed for every single marriage represented in those comments and emails. Oh how I wish I could send every one of you the devotional book His Princess Bride: Love Letters from Your Prince. I'll respond to your emails as I can this week - there are a lot of them, and I don't have all the answers, but I will respond.

And I'll be back later with more of the research results from the survey of 25,000 men.
Hugs ~ Rachel

Hugs to you Rachel.

Yesterday after reading your devotion I immediately called my husband to tell him that I love him. I need to pick up the phone more often to let him know I am thinking about him. Thank you!

Hugggs to Rachel, I too Loved that post yesterday. It was raining yesterday when it was time for my hubby to come home, I kept watching the window so that I could have the doors unlocked and opened for him, he was very appreciative.
Sounds like it rubbed off a bit huh?! :)
Thanks

I did not comment yesterday but I just want to say that after almost 47years in Sept., I think we will make. My husband and I are totally opposites. If he says black I will always say white. We had one minor problem years ago but I just refused to let satan take away what God had so graciously given me and He answered my prayers. I could not have had a better husband. We still have our differences but we always, somehow work them out. We are looking at cars right now (and I can no longer drive) so you better pray for us.
God is so good when you look to Him for the answers.
