Julia Child's Marriage


We watched  Julie And Julia the other night. I loved watching the interaction between Julia and her husband. They adored each other. She was always laughing and happy with him. She listened to him and you could tell that she greatly respected him. She would come home every day during lunch to make love to him. It wasn't a chore to her. It was fun and exciting.

Too many women think of making love to their husbands as a chore. We forget it is an important part of loving our husbands. Don't forget to enjoy your husband. You did while you were dating him so I am sure you can while you are married. Forget trying to change him and being critical towards him. 

It is so enjoyable to watch a husband and wife enjoying each other; laughing, talking, and flirting with each other. This seems to be the best testimony for marriage. People enjoy being around happily married couples. Work on becoming that kind of a couple.

The very best gift you can give your children is a happy marriage. They would love seeing their mommy and daddy loving each other. This is their greatest security. Happy, secure marriages make for happy, secure children.

Start being playful with your husband. Laugh at his jokes.Smile at him often.  Enjoy making love to him. Everyone benefits...society, children, and yourself.

Let your fountain be blessed:
and rejoice with the wife of your youth.
Proverbs 5:18

Amen!! :)
I definitely agree! I actually enjoy kissing my hubby.
Definitely not an understatement.
Well, as she had no children, I might have the energy she did had I none myself. That is a factor, really. Not an excuse; just a factor.

Ouch! Julia longed for children and dealt with infertility. Infertility can make a mess of this area of marriage, too.
What a great reminder!
Thanks for the encouragement. While I don't know if I'll be able to swing a lunch "date" every day, I know it is so very important to be a willing and playful partner for my husband. Hoping this post blesses lots of marriages today. Thanks for sharing, Lori!
Amen! My relationship with my husband brings me great joy. This post is very encouraging.
I loved reading this post! :) You've inspired me to make plans for my husband and I tonight! ;)
Such good reminders to enjoy the relationship that should be one of the greatest joys in this life. I appreciate the practical reminders without a lot of wordiness -- great post! I visited today from Be Not Weary, and I'm glad I did :)
Delightful post! Thanks for sharing with us the significant role that love making plays in marriage. Yes...health marriages are important for healthy children/individuals, healthy families, and thus a healthy society!
I too love the movie, and mainly for the potrayal of Paul and Julia's marriage! Remember what you fell and love with. I pray that God will show me everyday the man I fell in love with and to remember that first of love feelings. They are still there!
