Hey friends, and welcome to the blog today. I hope you are doing fantastic!

I’ve continued to take notes from Women’s Wisdom: The Garden of Peace for Women (affiliate link), and I’m happy to share the things I’ve recently gleaned from this book with you. While it is a Jewish book (and I’m not Jewish), I really like to glean womanly wisdom from all types of sources.

Here are a few of the notes I’ve recently jotted down:

• Couples with marital problems are not bad people, they just lack proper guidance.
• The mindset that marriage is just another social relationship can lead to major problems.
• The differences between men and women make marriage complex.
• Sometimes a husband and wife are very different to complement each other. These differences are for our benefit, however, they can make getting along difficult.
• Children from turbulent homes bear emotional scars that hurt their own relationships.
• Therefore, women (and men) should gain knowledge about how to live in harmony with their spouses that rises above common sense.
• Learning to be a successful spouse is a lifelong endeavor.
• True marital bliss is one of the greatest pleasures that exists in this world. Love is what we all need most.
• A married couple’s true love for each other compensates for all shortcomings.
• Forgiveness comes easily when one feels love.
• Marital love is the biggest factor that leads to emotionally healthy children.
• Love is a catalyst for unlimited blessings.
• The true meaning of love is giving.
• A husband and wife should take true pleasure in giving to each other.
• True giving doesn’t ask or demand compensation.
• Someone who truly loves their spouse wants to give to them constantly because seeing their spouse happy makes them happy, too.
• True love is built through years of patience and serious effort.
• One should not wait to feel the sensation of love to give. If you want more love, start giving right away.
• Thinking selfish thoughts about what we should receive from our husbands while getting angry is a formula for ruining a home.
• A person who only thinks about what they can receive doesn’t have true love in his heart.

I hope you enjoyed these thoughts today, friends. I’ll talk to you again soon.
