CLEANSE HER. LISTEN TO HER.
Listening to your wife allows you to really understand her, and see her inner-most thoughts. You also see her needs. Being able to listen is one of the greatest gifts that you can give to your wife. When you listen, understand that she is not asking for your advice, she is simply looking for you to be open to her feelings and thoughts. Listening allows you to see what she is saying, how she is saying it, and most importantly, why she is saying it. By listening, you can discern whether your wife is seeking your advice or just in need of you helping her to find her own answer.
PAY ATTENTION TO HER.
The more you listen to your wife, the better you will get at paying attention to her. Paying attention allows you to learn major and minor details about your wife, such as knowing her favorite things, her love language, when to do things for her, and how to read her moods. When you pay attention to your wife, you can tell when she wants to do something or have something, but denies it to accommodate you or a situation. Perhaps the greatest thing is being able to recognize who God is in your wife, the strengths and gifts that He’s placed in her. Paying attention allows you to love her the way she deserves to be loved.
APPRECIATE HER.
As a husband it should be a privilege to appreciate your wife every chance you get. Appreciation shows her that all she does has value. Our wives do so much daily to make sure all our needs are met as well as running a household. Appreciate your wife by saying thank you every chance you get. Learn how to edify her at all times letting the world know that she is your gift from the Lord. Appreciate her time, her loving, her respect, her patients, her thoughts and her value to your life. This is an action that will always keep a smile on her face.
Cleansing your wife takes loving her mind, body and soul to a new level. As a husband we are taught to cleanse our wife by washing her with the word of God. As we listen and pay attention to her, please be aware that from day to day so much negativity, disappointments and past hurts fill her mind. Sometimes it’s visible and sometimes suppressed. To cleanse her we must pray with and for her daily, speak positive things into her life daily, speak the word of God with her daily and patently help her to focus on the positive only each and every day. As you cater to her as the weaker vessel the stronger she will be.
BE A GENTLEMAN (CHIVALRY) WITH HER.
Being a gentleman shows your wife that you’re a chivalrous, courteous and an honorable man. Doing this consistently will give your wife the assurance that you love and honor her worth. Your wife deserves to have her doors opened, her chair pulled out, having her hand held in public and private, foot rubs and fixing her plate, just to name a few. Being a gentleman is one of the greatest ways to honor your wife, not only for what she does but ultimately for who she is to you. As husbands let’s show our wives and the world that chivalry is alive and well.
SET GOALS THAT STRETCH HER.
Being the visionary of the home it is our job to set the bar high with everything that we do, including setting goals. The goals should include you and your wife at all times. Because we as husbands desire to see all God has instore for our wives, it is good to set all goals bigger than life. High goals are put into place so that we have to be stretched and grow to reach them. As husbands stretching our wives shows her that we believe in her. Believing in our wives is one of the highest forms of love and appreciation.
PLACE HER AS YOUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD.
Yes, place her before parents, children, the household responsibilities, work-related duties, and all the other things that attempt to press their way in front
of your wife. Establishing and maintaining this priority is one way of fostering peace, better communication, and productivity within your home and relationship.

LOVE GOD AND BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. This must be priority over all other things. It is not possible to know God and not love Him, and it is impossible to love someone else and not love God. Establishing a loving relationship with God will properly equip you with the strength and wisdom to truly love your husband with an unconditional lovean Agape love. Furthermore, the love that you have for God allows you to accept His commands, and grow in understanding of His word. As your relationship with God grows, so will it with your husband as God shows you how to submit to your husband as unto Christ. LOVE YOURSELF AND HAVE AN INCREASING DESIRE TO BETTER YOURSELF. The better woman that you become, his inspiration to be better is also increased. He sees you as a suitable helper, a true partner – one who completes him as opposed to competes with him. By focusing on positive change within yourself, your husband will view you as someone to be honored, instead of feeling like you’re trying to change him. Also, it may be necessary to tell him that you are working to make yourself better, so that you can be a better help to him. BELIEVE IN AND BUILD UP THE MAN THAT HE IS TO BE. It is vital that you always keep a positive image of who your husband is to be. This takes work on your part, but it’s worth it in the end. There will be moments where it’s easy to see your husband’s weaknesses or areas you feel he needs to grow in, but trust in God to mold and change him. Continue to build him up, encourage him, speak to and treat him like the man that he is to become. Also, be careful not to compare him to anyone else. Ultimately, you want him to be his best self, who God designed him to be – which is more than what you may desire him to be within a moment.
LET YOUR THOUGHTS, WORDS, AND ACTIONS ALWAYS BE POSITIVE OF HIM. This requires self-discipline on many levels. It has often been said that when we do things, we do them three times: in our mind, in our words, and in our actions. Often, there is much emphasis on guarding what we say or do, because those are external things that others can see. However, our thoughts are internal which only God can see. Don’t allow negative thoughts to build up against what you know is true about your husband – that he is your good and perfect gift from the Lord, and that he is fearfully and wonderfully made. Through prayer, fasting, meditation, and God’s word, tear down the strongholds that have built themselves up in regard to your husband so that your words and actions may always be positive both publicly and privately. HONOR HIM AS THE PRIEST, PROVIDER, AND PROTECTOR OF YOUR HOME. To do so requires trust and faith in God at an optimum level. Perhaps this is the area where submission is exercised the most, because it requires a great deal of sacrifice. As the priest of the home, your husband must be respected as the mediator between God and the family. Respect your husband as the one who provides the vision and goals for your family – not just a provider of resources. Understand that God will provide your husband with the vision. Your work is found in his vision. This is not to disregard your goals and dreams. When you sacrifice your personal ambitions, you’ll understand that God has made provisions for your gifts to be used and desires fulfilled in the work that He has given your husband. As the protector of your home, your husband’s fortification addresses anything that may infringe upon the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of your family. If you feel or see that these components are not present in your husband, pray that God develops these things in him. PRAY FOR HIM. Be attentive to your husband’s needs, desires, strengths, and weaknesses in a way that you can prayerfully ask God to address. When you do so, you allow God to use all of His resources to touch the areas of your husband that you’re praying for. Have peace in knowing that you have no power to change anything about your husband, but God gives you the power and authority to pray for him and help him through God’s strength. PLACE HIM AS YOUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD. Yes, place him before the children, the household chores, work-related duties, and all the other things that attempt to press their way in front of your husband. Establishing and maintaining this priority is one way of fostering peace, better communication, and productivity within your home and relationship.

DESK OF Mr & Mrs King LOVE MARRIAGE & PARTNERSHIP | THE REVIEW
HARVEST Overflow The crisp cool air brushed over Mattie’s nose and cheeks as she eased past Eugene for him to close her truck door. He wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked towards the vacant building. “How you folks doing this morning?” said a deep booming voice coming from a short stocky gentleman with glasses and a black brimmed hat. Eugene and Mattie spoke warmly as they walked in, noticing how vast the space was. The gentleman motioned for them to follow him, “You folks follow me. I’ve got the heat on back here.” Eugene continued to gaze over the building and taking it all in as Mattie studied how neat the gentleman was. His clothes seemed to have been ironed perfectly, his shoes shined nicely, and his hair well-groomed. As the conversation ensued, the gentleman explained that he was a veteran who had decided to permanently move overseas and had no desire to hold on to the family property or the building. Impressed by the couple’s ideas for the building and their knowledge of the farmland, the gentleman gave them an unbelievable offer. Eugene and Mattie made the necessary arrangements for the closing and headed home. While Mattie was bubbling over with excitement, ideas, a million questions and twice as many comments, she took every bit of her energy and simply intertwined her hand into Eugene’s for the remainder of the drive. She respected the way he processed information, and over the years of them being together she knew that in his silence, he had just as much excitement, ideas, questions and comments. The next few days and weeks they moved like the mechanics on a clock. One night as they were going to bed, Mattie blew out the tealight that was warming her potpourri pot. The room was filled with the scent of lavender and a soft light from the barn peered through the window. Just as she pulled the covers back and pressed her knee into the bed, something came over her and she smiled. Mattie laid down, slid into Eugen’s arms and released a deep sigh; not an indication of tiredness from the day but a deep sense of fulfillment. This fulfillment that she felt was different because it had more to do with the goals and plans that were ahead of them than what they had previously accomplished. What Mattie saw and felt about the things that she and Eugene had been working on and planning were real, amazingly real. As if Eugene had been a part of her inward conversation the whole time, she blurted out, “… But how can it be so real Gene?” Puzzled, Eugene asked “How can what be so real?” Eugene quietly listened as Mattie briefly explained her thoughts. When she finished, he cleared his throat and told her “Belief. Once you pray for it, you believe that you have received it. It’s already done…It’s all about belief.”

IDEAS BY: MR & MRS KING
HAVE A LUNCH HOUR DATE. Whether you have conflicting schedules or just need to switch things up a bit, it will be fun to rendezvous in the middle of the day for a change. TAKE A PHOTO WALK. Wander around and capture anything that catches your eye with a camera or phone. Try shooting from a different perspective than you usually do. Have fun and be silly! RELIVE YOUR FIRST DATE. Go back to the restaurant or coffee shop where you had your first date. Before you go home, consider re-creating your first kiss too. TAKE A NATURE WALK More adventurous types can embark on a low-level hike, but any nature lover should try a scenic walk or a bike ride in nature with plenty of sights as food for conversation.

ANDREA BLACKLEY is the owner and designer of the innovative clothing brand, AB Originals. Since she was 8 years old, she’s always had a keen eye, and love for style and fashion. Being raised by a fashionable single mother, one of her favorite moments of her childhood, is when her mom would go “Spring Shopping” for new clothes. It would always be a big event because Andrea would be spontaneously surprised after coming home from school, and finding a bed full of clothes laid out for her. “Christmas in Spring”, as she called it, was always one of her favorite times of the year. As an only child, this was definitely one of the benefits of not having any siblings. But it was also the birth of her infatuation with fashion.

LEGEND Maronald McDOUGLE MEET
MODERN day
MARONALD MCDOUGLE has a career that only a few people have had the privilege of performing - he is a Camera Diver for NASA with Bastion Technologies. In this position, he supports astronaut training and test operations at NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Lab (NBL) in Houston, TX. He is the third African American diver in this position and currently he is the only African American diver. He is also the only diver who is a native of Mississippi. He recently celebrated his 25th anniversary working with our nation’s Space Program and his 20th anniversary as a diver. McDougle is multi-talented when it comes to diving. In addition to camera diving, he’s also a member of the NBL Mockup Maintenance Dive Team. He conducts monthly and annual space station mockup inspections, as well as refurbishment and reconfiguration of the mockups. He works closely with the engineering team to ensure exact specifications are met to complete in-water support tasks. McDougle didn’t begin his career with NASA as a diver. Before becoming a diver he worked for Boeing Aerospace Operations as an Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Suit Technician. In this position he maintained and repaired the EMU training suits (white astronaut suits) and related equipment worn by astronauts to train in the pool in preparation for their “spacewalks”. He suited up the astronauts who were scheduled to perform spacewalks and performed pre-checks before the suited crewmembers entered the pool to perform their training. He worked as a suit technician for one year before moving on to his next position, working in the EMU Tool Lab. In the EMU Tool Lab he prepared training tools for astronauts to use during their underwater training, preparing them for when they would have to use the tools while making repairs during their spacewalks. He enjoyed working in this department but felt there was something else out there for him. He stayed in this department for six months. It wouldn’t be long before a position opened in the dive team department with NASA contractor Bastion Technologies. When McDougle learned of this position, he began preparing for it. He completed his Professional Association of Diver Instructors (PADI) certification which is required training to fulfill the dive position. The strenuous PADI Certification training consisted of swimming 75 feet underwater without tanks, holding his breath, treading water for ten minutes and swimming 808 feet across the pool in 12 minutes. He also had to perform this test out in open water. McDougle began his new career with the NBL Mockup Maintenance Team as a fabricator/diver. As a member of this team he fabricates/builds Space Shuttle and Space Station Lab Mockups, as well as building parts for the mockups which are placed into the pool and used by the astronauts as they train for their spacewalks. McDougle also performs underwater repairs to the mockups. He had to perform rescue training where he would have to retrieve a person laying on the bottom of the 40 feet deep pool and bring the person back to the topside of the pool. He dives 5 – 6 times per week; camera diving is 2 hours 10 minutes underwater for each session; maintenance days he can be underwater up to 4 hours. He has accrued over 3000 dive hours. As a camera diver he records underwater astronaut training for them to review later as they prepare to go to space. The astronauts train in the pool because it is the closest thing to a weightless environment for the most realistic training here on earth. McDougle is a native of Moss Point, MS and was recently honored by the Moss Point Visionary Circle with the Living Legend Award at the 7th Annual Living Legends Ball. McDougle has been happily married to his wife Sharon for 27 years and they have two children – Dominique (daughter) and Corbin (son).

“Everyone knows that Dr. Mae Jemison was the first Black woman to travel into space - but many don’t know that a Black woman from Moss Point, MS, with her own firsts “suited her up”.
MODERN day
SHARON CAPLES MCDOUGLE grew up on the MS Gulf Coast and is a proud native of Moss Point, MS. She attended East Park Elementary, Ed Mayo Jr. High, and graduated from Moss Point High School.
McDougle began her career with the Space Shuttle Program as a Crew Escape Equipment (CEE) Suit Technician, responsible for processing the orange launch and re-entry pressure suit assemblies worn by all NASA space shuttle astronauts. She was assigned to her first mission within a year. McDougle was one of only two women CEE Suit Technicians and the only Black technician when she began her career.
Everyone knows that Dr. Mae Jemison was the first Black woman to travel into space - but many don't know that a Black woman from Moss Point, MS, with her own firsts "suited her up". McDougle was Jemison's "suit tech" for her historic mission aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor. McDougle worked closely with Jemison during her training leading up to launch, as well as actual launch day and landing of the space shuttle – taking care of all of her assigned crew escape equipment - from her writing utensils to her diaper! McDougle moved up the ranks quickly and was promoted to the position of Crew Chief making her the first female and first Black Crew Chief in CEE. In her new position she was responsible for leading a team to suit up astronaut crews. As Crew Chief she had the honor of leading the first and only all-female suit tech crew supporting space shuttle mission STS-78. Later in her career McDougle became the first, and only female, and Black person, promoted to the position of Manager of the CEE department. In this position, she managed the team of 25+ employees responsible for processing the Advanced Crew Escape Suit (ACES) and related equipment worn by the astronaut crews aboard the space shuttle. Her team assisted the astronaut crews in donning/doffing the suit, testing the equipment, strapping the astronauts into the space shuttle before launch, and recovering the crew upon landing. During her career, she was recognized with the Astronaut “Silver Snoopy” Award, Space Flight Awareness Honoree Award, Employee of the Month Teamwork Award, Employee of the Month Community Service Award, and the coveted Women of Color in Flight Award from Dr. Mae Jemison recognizing my career as the first and only African American woman suit tech/crew chief in her field. She absolutely loved her job and is proud to have been a part of our nation’s historic Space Shuttle Program. McDougle and her husband Maronald currently reside in La Porte, TX (Houston area) with their children Dominique and Corbin..
McDougle is a United States Air Force (USAF) veteran, which is where she began her aerospace career in after graduating from high school. She served proudly in the Strategic Air Command (SAC) as an Aerospace Physiology Specialist at Beale Air Force Base, CA where she was responsible for training the SR-71 and U-2/TR-1 (“spy planes”) reconnaissance aircraft pilots on high altitude operations. She worked as a chamber operations team member during hypobaric and hyperbaric chamber operations. McDougle has been recognized by her home state as a 2018 Mississippi Trailblazer at the 16th Annual Mississippi Trailblazers Awards Ceremony and Black Tie Gala where she received two awards: the Calvin “Buck” Buchanan “FIRST” Award named for Mississippi’s first United States Attorney for the Northern District – honoring a Mississippian who holds the distinction of being the “first” in their profession and the Dr. Cindy Ayers “Legacy” Award honoring a Trailblazer whose singular work and contributions will leave a legacy long after their life has ended. Mcdougle was also recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Living Legend Award from the Moss Point Visionary Circle for my military service and NASA career McDougle was selected as one of 2018’s Most Influential African Americans in the State of Mississippi. She also received the Lifetime Achievement award from the Moss Point Visionary Circle during their 6th Annual Living Legends Ball for her military service and NASA career. She and her husband and I both have family still living on the coast. I currently reside with my family in La Porte, TX (Houston area). FOLLOW ON FB: SHARON CAPLES MCDOUGLE

Relationship COMMUNICATION SUCCESSFUL
IT MAY COME AS A SURPRISE TO SOME THAT MERELY TALKING, THE EXCHANGE OF WORDS AND THOUGHTS BETWEEN TWO OR MORE PEOPLE, DOES NOT EQUATE TO COMMUNICATION - EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION THAT IS.
Consider these seven habits as you establish and/or grow your relationships. LISTEN WITHOUT CONDEMNATION: Whenever you are engaging in a conversation, remember that the other person trusts you enough to share with you with no fear of judgement. Even if you don’t say anything that is viewed as judgmental during the conversation, guard your thoughts against judgement. Not doing so could impact your thoughts, feelings, or actions towards them later on.
AVOID CRAFTINESS: If you find yourself letting a conversation brew well before it actually takes place, where you craft the other person’s responses, you are unnecessarily tampering with your emotions. Avoid being emotionally disturbed and viewing the other person inappropriately because of comments you’ve developed in your own mind. Allow the other person to communicate with you in their own truth. TALK WITHOUT COVETOUSNESS: It is not a comfortable feeling to genuinely engage in a conversation only to be met with words that are dripping with thirst. Refrain from abusing someone’s listening ear with words and thoughts that stem from longing and desiring what someone else has.
USE WORDS WITH NO COATING: At times, you may feel as if you cannot be completely truthful because you fear that you will hurt them. When this happens, you may find yourself sprinkling sugar over your words to avoid telling the whole truth. Coating your words can be misleading for them and restricting for you. There is a way to use your words wisely, and still be completely truthful.
DODGE THE COPOUT: The copout is that opportune, yet evasive moment where you find yourself using phrases like whatever, that’s okay, or I don’t care. The irony is that it is not whatever, it is not okay, and you do care. We often find ourselves using these elementary colloquialisms, not because we don’t feel like talking at that particular time, but because we have not learned how to communicate beyond our feelings. Depending on the value of the relationship, you have three options: say nothing (some comments and behaviors don’t deserve your response), agree to talk at a better time, talk through whatever the problem is.
BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR WORDS: Being that opportunities wrapped in a particular set of circumstances do not present themselves more than once, you must choose your words wisely. Justifying what you say using, “I just have to speak my mind…” is acceptable only when you are choosing to allow your spirit to control your mind. Too often, when we “speak our mind”, we are really speaking from a place where we choose to allow our emotions to control our thoughts.
TAKE CONTROL: Taking control is not about dominating the conversation or dictating the other person’s thoughts or feelings. Honestly, that type of behavior and thinking typically yields an unfavorable outcome. Instead, being responsible and taking control of your thoughts, words, and actions places you in a much more effective position for communicating. Maintaining positivity while truthfully sharing what you think and feel will have a greater impact beyond the conversation.
