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 30 - Honoring My Husband Through Sacrifice

Today I am honoring my husband  through sacrifice.  Last night was a tough night for me.  Bryan is typically the one up late into the evening with work heavy on his mind but this time I could not find my way to the great place called sleep.  Between my husband's lovely snoring and my head filled with the many projects that lay before me, instead of waking him up to subdue the snoring, I chose to sacrifice my comfort and take refuge in another room.

I honored my husband through sacrificing my comfort so that he would be sure to get a good night's sleep.  As his day typically begins before mine and ends well into the evening.  My sacrifice is not about playing a martyr or victim, but simply an attempt to honor my husband for being the provider for our household as my work could allow for me to catch up during the day through a nap. Unfortunately for me, today was not one of those days.  My hope is my sacrifice tonight will be of a different nature.

Wives of the world, in what ways do you sacrifice your comfort for your husband?  If you had to make the choice of his sleep or yours, which would it be?  Please share your story about how you have, can or would honor your husband through sacrifice.

Blessings,

Rochelle

Sacrificing your happiness for the happiness of the one you love, is by far, the truest type of love.

Rochelle,

Great post. I've been sharing your blog on my twitter and facebook pages. I believe that all successful marriages have a level of sacrifice attached to them. Going beyond yourself to benefit your spouse ultimately brings pleasure to you as well.
