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 4 - Honoring My Husband Through Commitment

On this very day, Friday, February 18, 1994 Bryan and I met at an NAACP event.  As I type this post I cannot believe it has been 18 years to the date. We have been together ever since that Friday night at the Forum in Baltimore, MD.   Ironically, we both almost did not show up for the event.  I had just moved to the Baltimore area and could not find the event.  I had to be escorted by a cop to the location.  He had tickets to another event but decided he was going to honor his commitment to the NAACP.  As God would have it, he insured we were both where we needed to be for his purpose to be fulfilled.

Today I honor and praise my husband with commitment.  We have been committed to each other since the day we met and although life has thrown us some pretty interesting curve balls, I know his heart and know he is committed to our marriage.

Being here in the Netherlands, it has been important for me to keep my commitment to him as far as our communication.  No matter what work is going on, or what I am doing at the time, I make sure that we are speaking at our agreed upon time of day.  It can sometimes be challenging because my schedule changes, however, what's most important to me at the end of the day is he feels that above all, I am putting him first in the midst of my work in Amsterdam.
 
How do you demonstrate commitment to your husband?  Does he know for sure he is your first priority second only to God?  Please share in what ways you demonstrate commitment to your husband.

Bryan, Happy meeting day anniversary! Love you much.
