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 88 Honoring My Husband With Congratulations

Today was a celebratory day for Bryan.  He felt a great sense of accomplishment in having a recent property purchase over 90% complete.  He was pretty excited about it and I am looking forward to seeing the finished product.  He was not only excited about having it just about complete but also at the prospect of having tenants pretty much lined up to move in before all the apartments are at 100% complete.  I am very proud of his accomplishment and at his tenacity to get it complete and his pursuit of ensuring to have it done before the end of this month.

Today I am honoring my husband with a huge congratulations.  Although this is the work he does on a regular basis, I am most proud of how he does a great job of keeping cost at a minimum and still getting quality work done.  I know of another person who does the same work as him and quoted having a job done for almost three times the cost of what I know Bryan would pay.  I was astonished and felt a sense of pride knowing my husband has major connections and will not pay more than what he knows he can get it done for.

Wives of the world in what ways do you honor your husband's with congratulations?  Even when he does a great job at the work he normally would do, do you let him know you are proud of  him for doing it?  Our husbands likes to know we notice their efforts. Sometimes we are their only source of acknowledgement and appreciation. In what ways can you honor your husband with a congratulations?  Did he do a great job taking care of the yard or the kids recently?  Let him know how proud you are of his work.  It goes a long way.

Blessings,

Rochelle

I think it’s so important that a woman offers continual “pat on the backs” to her mate. Men really need to feel appreciated during major accomplishments in their lives. By applauding his accomplishments you also give yourself praise as well because the two of you are a team. Regular verbal encouragement empowers him and makes him feels as though nothing is impossible for him to achieve. It is a humbling experience for a woman to give her husband praise no matter how big or small.
