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 129 Honoring My Husband for his Responsiveness

Today I am honoring my husband for his incredible ability to help me get grounded when I am feeling overwhelmed.  Today was one of those days, we have a problem with our well so we have been without water for two days, I just realized I have another paper due this weekend because I got the date wrong, I am facilitating a session at my church's women's conference on Friday and Saturday and we are hosting a graduation party for our nephews who invited over 250 people to our home, which is not ready for a party because we have no water to do regular housekeeping.  To say that I was a tad bit overwhelmed today is an understatement. I remember thinking and saying a little prayer Lord I really need your help.

I called Bryan just to share my feelings and he immediately went into fix it mode.  Typically I really do not want a fix I just want him to listen, but today I needed someone to help me work through how to conquer what I was facing.  I was pleased, comforted, relieved and so appreciative of his quick problem solving mode.  Within in five minutes he had delegated some of the work that needed to be done to get ready for the party and suggested some things to work through balancing my commitments.  I ended the call much better than I started and felt such a great sense of relief.  This is why today I am honoring my husband for his responsiveness to my needs.  He was so on it and it so worked. 

Wives of the world how can you or do you honor your husband for his responsiveness?  How do you let him know when his natural ability to solve problems has worked miracles for you?  So many times we just want  our men to listen, but there are times when their advice and support are invaluable.  How can you honor your husband today for his responsiveness?  Please share your stories with us we would love to hear from you.

Blessings,

Rochelle
