I had forgotten we had tickets to attend the event and contemplated not going. I originally thought about it as a conflict, on one end I wanted to go and on the other I wanted to continue working on my paper. I then realized it was not a conflict, but a choice. So today I honored my husband with a choice. I had stated a few weeks ago that I wanted us to have a regular date night. We go out to dinner, the movies and other activities on a frequent basis, but we do not necessarily classify those times as date night. To me there is something special about the intentionality of having a date night. Because I had stated this is what I wanted to do, I then realized my dilemma was not a conflict but a choice. So today I honored my husband with a choice by choosing us and having a date night.
I was very glad I made the choice because we saw a very good, thought provoking Christian movie. To me it was a great reminder that nothing is coincidental, everything is orchestrated by the Lord. It was also a great reminder that we can make all the plans we like, ultimately the plan that happens is the one created by God. Today I honored my husband with a choice because I wanted to continue something I had asked for by having a date night, I honored my husband with a choice because I wanted to choose us over school and because he was willing to give up his night watching the NCAA tournament to attend to my request.
Wives of the world, in what way can you honor your husband by turning a conflict into a choice? Please share your story with us; we would love to hear from you.
