Coaches Answer:
Dear Young Wife,
Thank you for contacting MarriageRomance.com for coaching. I will try and encourage you and give you Godly advice.
I read your coaching information and know how overwhelmed you must feel with a full time job two young children plus all the housework and still trying to maintain a relationship with your husband and with God.
A four month romance is a short one. It must mean that you and your husband both knew what you were looking for and you both felt very strongly that you had met the right person.
I hope your husband helps you at home. A working mother needs her husbands help. It is a team effort and requires that the husband be willing to put in as much time helping his wfe as she puts in. If both the husband and wife work together the work gets done much faster.
I would encourage you both to go to church regularly, have devotions with the children and ask your husband to pray together as a family and then again in bed. You can take turns praying and sharing with God your concerns and desires.
Have you found a good church? Making freinds with other Christians is good for your walk with God and your family. Christian friends will encourage you and offer to help you in time of need.
You and your husband might enjoy listening or reading together some of our marriage love stories at MarriageRomance.com. They will encourage you in your relationship with each other.
It is not easy doing all you are doing. Going from being a single to being a Mom with two kids and a full time job and a wife, can be stressful. But it is also very rewarding.
You are so blessed to have a husband who loves you and two dear children who love you. Don't let the stress affect the way you act. The way to maintain a good attitude is to always be thankful to God and to your husband and kids and boss for all that you have.
If you start to feel stressed and depressed, think about how blessed you are and how there are others who are single or who don't have a husband or a job or a home who would love to be in your shoes.
I pray God will give you the strength to keep on going, and wisdom to manage your time wisely and fill you with His love for your husband and children.
God Bless you,
MR Coach
