Although I had not mastered the concept of checking in Bryan got this part pretty easily. He used to call me whenever he thought he was going to be running extra late or if something came up. Then one day he did not and I could not reach him. It was so much out of his norm that I began to worry about what happened. When he arrived home I learned he had an issue that came up with his property and because he was out later than normal his phone charge had died. I realized at that moment how I had been on a regular basis putting him through that very same type of worrying when I decided to hang out at the mall or someplace else and would not call or my phone did not have service. It taught me a very valuable lesson. As a result I changed my behavior and began to accept the idea of checking in.
Today I honored my husband by checking in. I decided to hang out with some classmates at the National Harbor and knew I would be getting in later than normal. I also knew I did not want Bryan to be concerned about my safety so late in the evening.
Wives of the world in what ways do you or can you honor your husband's by checking in. Have you accepted the concept of being accountable to each other and use it as a way to support your love towards each other or do you find it challenging to allow for such a space in your relationship. I have found that checking in is just another way of communicating I love you and I respect you and do not want to add unnecessary stress into your day. In what way can you honor your husband by checking in today? Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.
Blessings,
Rochelle
