Welcome to my Blog

I Will Honor My Husband blog site began as a wife's journey to love, honor and cherish her husband everyday for one full year in 2011. The experience was so awesome that I am continuing the journey. As the Lord guides me I will continue to post about how I am honoring my husband on at least a weekly basis. This blog is for me and other wives to learn how to be more intentional in demonstrating our love, honor and respect for our husbands in a way that matters to them most. Last year it was a challenge and a goal to make it a habit, this year I hope to realize the habit as a way of life. I welcome, encourage and invite you to - Join the Movement! and let the world know you honor your husband.

My prayer is that marriages and lives will be changed across the globe by the expression of "One Year of Love". Please send me a picture of you and your husband so the world will know you have joined the movement.

Day 10 - Honoring My Husband Through Action

The count down to home is close enough for me to get excited about seeing my husband.  Three more days and I will be on a plane heading back into his arms and presence.  I truly cannot wait. 

Today I recently came across an interesting list that provided ways to honor one's husband.  I found the list quite intriguing and made the decision that I would use it to honor my husband through my actions.  The list was pretty exhaustive but the top ten were as follows:
  1. Communicate with him respectfully.
  2. Regard him as important and let him know he's important to you.
  3. Do everything you can to at least understand his feelings—even when you disagree with him.
  4. Be interested in his friends and occasionally give him time with them (if they are trust-worthy men).
  5. Ask for his opinion and let him know you value what he says.
  6. Tell him you both love him AND like him.
  7. Let him feel your approval and affections.
  8. Protect his dignity on a daily basis.
  9. Be tender with him realizing he has feelings also.
  10. Foster an atmosphere of laughter in your home. Look for ways to laugh togethe
Because I am at a distance I began to wonder, how can I I honor my husband in action in the midst of my absence.  It dawned on me that action does not mean it has to be in the presence of the one you love.  Sometimes the best way to honor your husband in action is in the presence of others.  So today, I honor my husband in action in the presence of others by demonstrating respect, protecting his dignity, creating an atmosphere of laughter during our calls, and asking for his opinion even with our distance.

Wives of the world in what ways do you honor your husband through action when you are not in his presence?  Do you speak highly of him?  Are your actions, in the absence of your husband, honorable to him, your marriage and to God?  Please share your story.
