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 80 Honoring My Husband By Slowing Down

The week is just about over and I am feeling like it has already been a full seven days.  I have been extremely busy this past week to the point of neglecting my husband on yesterday and today was not too much different.  Today I am honoring my husband by slowing down my pace.  I have four projects for my business, two projects for church, two for the collaborative coaching program I am engaged in and too many to count for school.  This week it has caught up with me.  I am quite exhausted and feel like if I lay my head down anywhere I will be out.

Today I am honoring my husband by slowing down the pace by establishing some boundaries for myself about what I can get done in a realistic timeframe.  I guess this really could be why my cooking has not been the greatest lately. My mind is in a million places except the kitchen.  I am honoring my husband by slowing down to ensure we have the necessary time we need to connect on a regular basis as we normally do throughout the day and with my mind, body and spirit in the present moment. 

Wives of the world, in what ways do you honor your husband's by slowing down the pace?  How do you let him know he has your undivided attention when needed?  How do you stay in the present moment when the to do list is greater than the hours available to get them all done?  Please share any great secrets you have with us; we would love to learn from your experiences.

Blessings,

Rochelle
