Prayer Day – Desire
Ladies, Some things I hear frequently from wives who feel unloved is that they wish their husband desired them: “I want him to WANT to be with me.” “I want to be his highest priority!” “I don’t want him giving attention to anyone else that should rightfully belong to me.” “I wish he wanted to… Continue reading Prayer Day – Desire
