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 67 Honoring My Husband By Seeking Help

Hello wives of the world, today I am honoring my husband by seeking help from those of you who have a few more years in than my husband and I do or from those of you that are full of wisdom.  My husband has his own business and I left my full time work to pursue my business about a year ago.  My husband and I seem to have this continuing source of contention in our marriage as it relates to the concept of help.

He would like me to help with his business, however whenever I ask him what does that look like he gives me an assignment or says something like I don't know maybe you can do this or do that.  My dilemma is, I would like to help, yet I feel like my hands are tied because I do not know the ins and out of his business.  At the same time, I am building my business, have clients to serve, I am in school and have the responsibility of taking care of the home.  I believe the source of contention is that our definition or understanding of the concept of help is different.

Wives of the world, my request for help is, I would really like to know from you all in what ways do you provide help to your husband's in his work?  In what ways do you demonstrate support either emotionally, physically or otherwise while maintaining the things you need to manage like your work, the home, school if it applies and taking care of the family for those of you with children?  Please share your stories; I can really use some insight in this arena. 

Blessings,

Rochelle
