To make a long story short, 7:00 PM rolled around and Bryan found himself quite exhausted so we decided to head home to prepare for church. We were in separate cars and as I left the marina to head home it dawned on me how tired Bryan looked when he returned to the boat. He was slumped in the chair and said he just wanted to rest the night away. We live an hour away from the marina and I knew it would be a struggle for him to drive home. I turned around and told him to ride with me home so he could rest and not worry about making the drive. I could see the sense of relief in his face. Today I honored my husband with awareness by recognizing his need to not worry about having to find the energy to drive himself home. I honored him by being aware of his true need without him having to ask. He later thanked me for being very appreciative of how hard he had worked that day and offering to drive him home.
Wives of the world in what ways do you or can you honor your husband with awareness? I would like to think that I am or have always been very aware of Bryan's need in the moment but I know that has not always been the case. I know that the Lord is using this process to help me be more aware and in tune with the needs of my mate and how He, the Lord would have me to be as a wife. How have you changed since embarking on this journey to be the change you want to see by honoring your husband? What are you more aware of today than before joining this movement? Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear and learn from you.
Blessings,
Rochelle
