Epic weekend

I had a wonderful weekend. I truly did, this happened because I chose not to stress myself out. Generally I try and get the house ready for the weekend. I am one of those mothers who feels like she needs to have the house in order so she can go out and enjoy my free time on the weekends without knowing a pile of dishes or a basket of laundry is waiting for me. I have inherited my guilt from my mother and you would probably think me Catholic because of it. So Friday night my husband and I enjoyed a nice meal and we watched some tv together and relaxed, I didnt get all stressed about the mess in the kitchen or the fact that the kid's room was a mess, I just enjoyed my family for once. Saturday came and we hung out,my husband let me sleep in and we went and got some chicken fajita pitas at jack in the box with some coupons, it was a great deal and we love saving money. We headed to our bible study and just enjoyed being around our friends and talking about God and what hes doing for us and in us. When we came home we snuggled and just truly enjoyed one another, this may not seem epic to anyone, but me and my husband tend to bicker and fight with each other over the smallest things and I find when I let go, he mellows out and if I ask for his help he does it. Today he did the dishes and helped organize the kid's room which took 3 hours, and he did it all without complaining. By the end of the evening my husband leaned in to kiss me and I said " do you notice something" and he says "ya, were not fighting". How beautiful is that? The more I find myself praying and letting go of my control the more God has room to heal the brokenness in our marriage. God tells us when we are weak he is strong,this tells me I don't have to be strong all the time, I don't have to be perfect, have my dishes done, or all the chores caught up and if I relax its ok. This weekend was argue free and who wants to raise kids arguing all the time?! I sure dont, I really pray we continue working in unity and remaining kind to one another because when we are like this I think we can accomplish anything we put our minds and heart into and that we are a match made in heaven. I really adore my husband and I know that God is working on us because I see the fruits and they taste so sweet.
