I tried calling Bryan, but he was hanging out on a roof and could not get my call. When we finally connected, it was so nice to hear the excitement in his voice as he joined me as any friend would in my excitement. Today, I honor my husband through friendship because he was there for me as only a friend could be. As our conversation continued, we shared a few other experiences of the day and had a great conversation filled with intellect, great laughter and healthy debate. I hung up the phone with the warm and fuzzy in anticipation of seeing him this evening.
Wives of the world, how do you honor your husband through friendship? In what ways do you share friendship like qualities to stay connected in a way that only friends can? How can you honor your husband through friendship today?
Blessings,
Rochelle
“Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the LORD, saying, ‘The LORD is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.’” 1st Samuel 20:42 - I love this scripture for it so speaks to the friendship and the three fold cord of marriage, you, him and God in the middle and the uniting of two families. Awesome!

Hey Rochelle,
I love all of your posts to your blog. Although I'm not married your blog is enriching me in ways that are hard to convey in words. If I look at marriage as the building I'd say that friendship is the foundation that keeps it solid and grounded. Couples need to be friends first because a solid friendship between mates will assist in tough times. When I think of a friend it's someone who you can be yourself with no judgement. Someone you can let your hair down with and share a part of yourself in safety.
Thanks for your great work your doing in the blog!! Keep up the good work!

Hey Rcohcelle
Great job on the blog!!! I'm so enjoying every post!!!! Although I'm not married your posts have enriched me in ways I cannot convey in words. I believe that every good marriage has to start with a good friendship. If marriage is the house then friendship is the foundation that keeps the union strong and solid. When I think of being friends with my mate I would want to be able to be myself, be transparent and share parts of myself that I've never shared with anyone and extend the same to him. Friendship should offer a safe place to open up spaces in your heart and soul and feel safe doing it. A solid marriage requires a solid friendship.
Again - Great job!!!
