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 173 Honoring My Husband With the Power of Change

So what have I learned over the past 48 hours about my ability to honor my husband without having to think about it and just how often did the concept, idea of honoring my husband come up in 48 hours.  I stopped counting after 40.  What I realized was that a lot of my behavior is on automatic when it comes to honoring my husband and there are many times when I had to think about what would be the most honorable way to deal with a situation.

Over the course of the past 48 hours I have honored my husband in communications, thoughts, theory, laughter, prayer, listening, a sense of urgency, compliment, surprise, praise, respect, prioritizing, a smile, as a lover wife, his insecurities and with collaboration to name a few.  Whew! Yes that is what I thought.  However the cool thing about it is that it did not feel exhausting although it sounds exhausting.  My greatest learning during this practice period is just how much power I really do have to make a difference in myself, my marriage and my husband. 

Today I am honoring my husband with the power of change that has come with this journey.  I am also honoring my husband with the power of the spoken word.  There is a lot to be said about putting your intention in the universe and watching it come to pass.  I am excited about how much more I am going to learn over the next 6 months.  What surprised me was the number of times I had to think and say, okay so what is the best way to be honorable in this situation and each time I had the question the answer would be revealed.  I just loved it.  Mostly because I know eventually it will all be automatic which is the ultimate purpose of this journey.

Wives of the world how can you honor your husband with the power of change?  If you took the past 48 hours to practice, what did you discover about yourself and the changes you have made?  What did you learn about your husband and your  marriage?  Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.

Blessings,

Rochelle
