“May you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer – may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love.”Proverbs 5:18,19
The Webster definition of captivate is: to capture the attention or affection of, as by beauty and excellence; fascinate; charm
Do you remember when your husband was first captivated by you? He saw you as beautiful and excellent. You fascinated him. Your eyes twinkled, you smiled with each thought of him, you bonded over long conversations of who you both were and dreamed to be…
Join me over at Time Warp Wife for today’s inspiration and challenge.

What a charming and inspirational thought this morning. xoxo
Thank you for reminding me. My husband and I have been married over 12 yrs and together for 13. I remember what I wore for our first date. I remember how I felt as we were falling in love. We are trying to recapture that in our marriage right now…how appropriate this message is today.
Sometimes we get so caught up in the day to day, the mini tragedies, and our rotating schedules that we forget the charm and fascination. I’m going to make an intentional effort to change this. Thanks for the great inspiration!
I have been feeling the need to refuel my husband’s “love tank” lately. This post came at the right time for me, and I am putting a plan in action!
Love how Stephanie calls it a “love tank.” So cute, and so true. My husband has been working so much lately, he needs a little more fuel in his tank. LOL
So glad to be a part of both these challenges.. I need the accountability both to nurture my relationship with my husband and to keep the peace in my home.
Thank you!
Interesting insight into this verse. A woman who intentionally strives to “captivate” her husband with her love is truly a blessing! With her, a man can do anything and she is a tremendous boost to his confidence and abilities.
It would be difficult to overestimate the difference such a wife can make.
How do you compete with the other women that are trying to ‘captivate’ your husband as well? I don’t feel I can compete with them – they have his attention and are fun, young, and beautiful. I am not an ugly duckling but I’ve been around for 15 years and we live REAL life together…..not the fantasies they are portraying.
Thanks for your blog. You’re inspiring women everywhere to be women of God. Regarding your post, I lost my captivation for my wife slowly over time. It wasn’t anything she did, but was my complacency. Now, I’m fighting for our marriage. I want to be captivated by her and I want her to be captivated by me. To encourage this, I’m embarking on a year-long project to commit a loving act for my wife every day. I think this will transform our marriage!
