Wow, I mean, is it just me, or did the past four weeks just fly by? I can’t believe we are here at Week 4 of the Wife on Fire Challenge.

How have you been doing? Are you surprised by the reality of an intentional marriage? Would you claim to be a Wife on Fire by now?

Regardless of whether or not you’ve breezed through the past four weeks or if you’ve struggled to get each week’s task accomplished, you made it. You have reached the final week of the Wife on Fire Challenge. Which, I think, is cause for celebration!

Now, over the past few weeks, I’ve been asking y’all for your participation, not only in this Wife on Fire Challenge, but also in leaving me feedback and encouraging other wives along the way.

Of course, there are plenty of ways in which you can do just that. I love, love, love to get comments right here on the blog. So don’t hesitate to leave me a message at the bottom of this page (in fact, there’s a little something in it for you if you do, but I’ll get to that in a minute). And then, there are always CWC’s Social Pages:

Ok, so where were we? Oh, yeah, it’s the last week of our 4-week Wife on Fire Challenge! Woohoo!

Well, without further adieu, here is the final Intentional Action for the Wife on Fire Challenge of August 2017…

So now what?

Well, just because our 4-week Wife on Fire Challenge has ended, it does not mean your desire to be a Wife on Fire needs to.

If you are not sure where to go from here, let me direct you to a few other posts I’ve written here on CWC on the subject of Intentional Marriage:

• Choosing an Intentional Marriage
• 5 Ways to be Intentional in your Marriage Today
• The Country Wife Recommends…Christian Marriage Resources
• Strengthening Your Marriage Series: 5 Ways to Reconnect
• Strengthening Your Marriage Series: 5 More Ways to Reconnect
• Strengthening Your Marriage Series: DIY Marriage Retreat

Hopefully these posts will spark your interest and give you some guidance on how to maintain your role as a Wife on Fire from here on out.

You certainly don’t need me to give you weekly homework to keep up your intentional efforts in your marriage. It is a choice. But I’m here, always here, blogging away if you ever need to chat.

Because, one thing I know is that we Wives on Fire need to stick together. We need to encourage one another and build each other up. Because this marriage thing is hard. Not every day is easy, not every day do we feel like being a Wife on Fire.

And if you are ready to be a Wife on Fire all year long, be sure to check out our second annual Wife on Fire Challenge for more inspiration!

Be sure to comment below or catch CWC on Social Media!

And don’t forget to enter to win your very own copy of The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts!

In all honesty, I really would love some feedback from those that have participated in the Wife on Fire Challenge for the past four weeks. I mean, has the Challenge been worth it? Would you do another one in the future? How did you like the 4-week format? How do you think we could encourage others to participate in the future?

I really, really would love to hear from you. Would you please consider taking a minute of your time to leave a comment at the bottom of this page?

Thanks, I appreciate it. And thanks for being along for the ride on this inaugural Wife on Fire Challenge. It has been an incredible blessing for me to share this journey with y’all.

Be Still & Know…
