On day 87 I honored my husband with personal care. I was granted a fellowship award for school and will be receiving it on tomorrow at an awards dinner. Bryan wanted to make sure he looked his personal best for this dinner and I usually take care of his dreads. It had been a long day for me and him yesterday but his hair needed to be done so I honored him on yesterday by providing personal care of his hair.
I remember once having a conversation with someone about taking care of my husband's dreads and she stated, "I would never take on that responsibility." My thoughts are touch is one of the most important aspects of intimacy. Being afforded the opportunity to wash and freshen up my husband dreads is another way of demonstrating my love for him. If you have ever heard of the book The Five Love Languages, one of them is action. Bryan receives love through action and my doing his hair is a way he receives and experiences love from me so why would I give up that opportunity to express it. I would encourage you all if you have not ever read the book, The Five Love Languages, it is a great read and provides awesome insight into how you and your mate experience love at different levels.
Wives of the world in what ways do you or can you express personal care for your husband's? It is one of the great ways we can demonstrate love in action with our mates. My sister shared with me she used to give her husband a manicure which he loved, another friend shared she used to give her husband a pedicure because he would never go and get one and another shared she shapes her husband's beard. All of these are awesome displays of honoring our husband with personal care. Please share your stories with us on how you honor your husband with personal care; we would love to hear your stories.
Blessings,
Rochelle
