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 172 Honoring My Husband

Today I am just following  up with my practice.  So far I am amazed at how much of each concept is used in a 24 hour period.  I am learning just how much of a multi-tasker, thinker, strategist and lover wife I am.  As the old saying goes, practice makes perfect.  Although I am not striving for total perfection, I am curious about just how much of my behavior is on automatic pilot and how much requires intentional thought. 

When I started the blog I noted that it takes 50 days to create a habit and I am well beyond 50 days.  I guess the challenge is that each day the Lord has taught me something else that I need to add to the list or to learn how to do more effectively.  Given this is my 172nd day I believe the only thing I have been doing is just truly honoring my husband in the way the Lord has guided.  Whether or not I have repeated any one behavior 50 times or more, I believe the most important aspect is that I am honoring my husband in the way he needs to be honored in that moment in time.  So today I am simply honoring my husband and continuing to practice what I have already learned and learning what the Lord has in store for today.

Wives of the world in what ways can you honor your husband's today based on all of what you have learned about yourself, your husband and your marriage thus far.  Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.

Blessings,

Rochelle
