This evening I'm relaxing! I believe taking time for yourself and relaxing is a very important part of becoming a helpmate. With all of today's hustle and bustle and technology, we need to give ourselves time to get away from all of that and relax even more than ever (as I sit in bed and type on my laptop computer while watching a movie on TV...lol).
We need to recognize that everyone needs this time to relax. Yes, ladies, this means your husbands need some time to chill too. If they enjoy something that you don't necessarily enjoy as much, this is a great time for them to enjoy their hobby while you enjoy yours. You both need some time to escape your everyday routine.
If you are able to spend some relaxation time in the evenings, this is a great time for you to spend some alone time with God. Psalm 62:1 says "For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation." So from this verse, we gather that our soul needs to spend some time "waiting" in silence for God.
The evening after a long day is a good time to get in some Bible study time and just be with God. If you make time to spend with Him, He will meet you where you are. Spending time with Him in the evening always gives me a supernatural peace to end my day. This helps me to be a better helpmate because I am able to keep peace within myself. It helps me to be able to focus on the things I should do and support my husband as I should.
