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 46 Honoring My Husband With Anticipation

Today I am honoring my husband with anticipation.  One more day, YEH!  Some of you may be wondering why I am so excited and over joyed to celebrate our anniversary.  Well allow me to share with you why I am honored to honor my husband with excitement, preparation, readiness and anticipation for our anniversary.  My husband is the kind of man that loves to surprise me and make me happy, especially on special occasions like anniversaries, birthdays, and Valentine's Day.  He puts quite a bit of thought into what he will do for me and for us.  Honoring him is my way of saying thank you, thank you for caring enough to spend time thinking about what I might like, thank you for spending time to pick out just the right thing or plan an event, or totally blow me away with something unexpected.

Today I am honoring my husband with anticipation, because although we have a trip planned, I know he has something wonderful in store.  He always does.  Over the years he has surprised me with a limo ride to and from my favorite restaurant over 70 miles away, had me pack my bags and take me on a surprise trip, taken me to see my favorite singer, someone he does not even like, surprised me with an incredible anniversary diamond ring, surprised me with a truck as a 2nd vehicle so I would not get stuck in the snow, and the list goes on and on and on.  So now you see, I would not be honoring God for giving me such a great guy, if I did not honor my husband with excitement, preparation, readiness and anticipation for the celebration of our love and years together. 

Wives of the world, in what ways do you honor your husband with anticipation?  You may say your husband has not done all or any of the things I shared or maybe he has done all those things and more. Either way I would bet you he has done his very best with what the Lord has provided to make you happy.  That being said, in what ways can you honor your husband with anticipation today?  Even if it is in anticipation of spending the day together on Saturday, let your husband know how much you are looking forward to being with him.

Blessings,

Rochelle
