My Top 3 Marriage Tips

My husband and I have been married for 7 years and we married fairly young.  People are always asking us how we do it or how we make it work?  I could go on forever about how we do it, but who has time to read all that?  So, I'm going to share my top 3 marriage tips with you.

Homeschool Rooms Are Not Always Perfect

As I was sitting here looking around our school area  I noticed how messy and disorganized it is.  I thought I just cleaned it up last week.  Wow!  Do I clean and reorganize it now, or just continue about our day?  Ugh, the life of a homeschool mom!

WHO ARE THE COOKS??

The Cooks are a family of six all born and raised in the South.   We enjoy family time, hanging out with our close friends, sports, laughing, and just being around each other. Please join us in our journey of following Christ, homeschooling, and becoming more healthy together as a family.

Humble Servant

When you become a wife you should become a servant to your husband. Wait! Don’t stop reading just yet. I know you may have cringed at the word servant or it may have made you want to stop reading, right?  Just hear me out.

In Genesis 2:20 God noticed that Adam did not have a help meet. So, in Genesis 2:22 he created Eve for Adam.  Now according to the dictionary the definition of the word servant is, a person in the service of another, service is defined as an act of helpful activity; help; aid.  Did you notice the word HELP? Therefore, to be a servant to your husband simple means to be his help. In doing so you should find great joy and happiness because that’s one of the reasons God created you!

About the Cooks

Hello there and welcome to My Life as Mrs. Cooks.

About Me:  My name is Markie Cooks, I am a wife and homeschool mom to 4 beautiful children.  If anyone would have told me a year ago this is what my life would be like in a year I would have called their bluff.  Life now is not what I planed at all but it is where God wants me to be so, knowing that I am following his path and not my own makes me happy and content.  HA it's funny I used that word, CONTENT, this to is something I would not have known I'd be a year ago.  Ok, ok back to the basics....  I have been married for 7 years to my best friend and the most amazing man that I know, Mr. Cooks.  I have 4 awesome kids, Big Girl 12, Big Boy 9 3/4 (in his words), Baby Girl 8, and Baby Boy 6 and yes I homeschool them all.  OH, I almost forgot our fury child Ruby the Chorkie.
