I was just thinking how lazy we brides have become. I am often amazed at how a woman will lose weight and take up exercising when she thinks a man is interested in her. She will fix her hair, check out her make-up, and carefully choose her outfit when preparing for a date with her young man and greet him cheerfully upon his arrival. Then comes the wedding. It is almost a given that she will gain weight, forget where she put the comb, make-up (? what’s that), and wear the same clothes when he returns that he saw her in while she was sleeping. Yikes! What has happen? It seems to me that while we are dating, he is pursuing us, after marriage we spend the rest of our lives pursuing him. Let’s consider preparing ourselves again and put a little special effort into our appearance. Let’s consider a clean top, brush our hair, a little dab of lipstick or chap-stick which makes our lips shine or at least a smile.  Read more under Brides Psalm 136.
