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 144 Honoring My Husband With A Strategy

My work is all about helping organizations, specifically churches to develop strategies to be more effective.  It is truly my passion and my life's work.  In most cases I am very intentional about developing a strategic plan to accomplish what needs to happen.  Bryan and I recently had a conversation about acknowledgement and appreciation and how our love languages are different in this arena.

It caused me to ponder on how I can be more deliberate in meeting his Love Language in this regards.  Then it dawned on me, I need a strategy.  We tend to show love in the manner that we like to receive it.  Bryan and I have found this true of each other. However, often times our spouse needs something different than we do.  So today I am honoring my husband with a strategy by putting a plan in place to ensure I am showing my appreciation and acknowledgement in a way that meets his Love Language instead of mine.

Wives of the world in what ways can you honor your husband with a strategy?  Is there something that does not come naturally and a strategy would be extremely helpful in getting you to a place of habit?  It is amazing to me how something that seems so natural and appropriate to and for me is so wrong and unnatural for my husband. I guess this is why the Lord puts two opposites together so we can grow in areas beyond our comfort zone. Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.

Blessings,

Rochelle
