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 185 Honoring My Husband Emotional Needs

Praise God for the internet!  Here is my post from Sunday. 

Today I am excited because I will be heading down to Ocean City, MD to join my husband for vacation.  Yesterday as we were going through the challenge of trying to find him a room he asked me what time will I be arriving after my presentation with my client.  He commented that he knows how I can easily get distracted and take my time getting somewhere when I am not in a hurry.  I shared that I intended to arrive by 5PM.  He was quite skeptical but shared he missed me and asked me to please arrive as soon as I could.  His exact words were, “I need you here with me.”
Today I honored by husband’s needs by keeping my commitment and arriving on time.  Once my meeting was over I had planned to change my clothes, get my car washed and then grab something to eat before heading south.  However because of Bryan’s request and the impending rainy weather I simply got in my car and headed south and grabbed something to go along the way.  I was very excited during my entire drive and was looking forward to seeing him.  When I arrived it was nice to see his excitement and get my one minute hug.
Wives of the world in what ways do you honor your husband’s emotional needs?  How do you respond to his request of wanting to have you near him?  I was quite touched by his words of “I need you here with me.”  I felt missed and wanted which is always very nice.  How can you honor your husband’s emotional needs today?  Please share your stories with us we would love to hear from you.
Blessings,
Rochelle
