What is pressure?
deflate any pressure on your life.
As a married woman I believe your priority
should be first your relationship with God, secondly husband and children, and lastly others any other assignment from God, our businesses,
careers etc.
What is Family Pressure?
Women are made in such a way that once your
relationship with God is intact you have the
strength and ability to do so many things at the
same time, and still be at your best under pressure.
It can therefore be defined as pressure coming
from the family members or on a family.
As a wife and mother, I can imagine some of the
causes of this pressure.
* Financial issues
* Lack of gainful employment
* Challenges from the office
* Desire to engage in self improvement
* Demands from your children
* Responsibilities as a wife, mother and a home
maker
* External causes- extended family issues
* Children's holiday time!
Everything and everybody is pressing and pressing; asking for attention and some of them may

want to make is to help him! It should not take

How do you deal with family
pressure?
1.
Don't play with your prayer and study life.
Once they start diving down, your life will start
diving down and pressure will start mounting
high. Your strength, peace, joy, wisdom, knowledge and understanding will always come from
there.
2.
Focus on building your home- relationship
with husband and children. These are your primary assignments from God for which you will
give account to Him. A peaceful home will always
help you to deflate any pressure coming upon
you. Your success as a wife and a mother will give
you joy and satisfaction that nothing else can
give you, and it will still be speaking for you even
when you can't do much for yourself anymore.
