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 188 Honoring My Husband's Intellect

If you live in the Maryland, Washington, DC or Virginia area, where were you when the earthquake hit.   Well I was standing on the top floor of a beach house looking out of a sliding glass door when the house began to shake.  I immediately turned to Bryan and said, what was that and what are you doing?  He said I did not do anything and then it happened again.  He then said it was an earthquake.  I simply laughed and said we do not get earthquakes on the east coast.  Little did I know he would be correct. 

Today I am honoring my husband's intellect.  Without pretty much missing a beat, he recognized the rattling as an earthquake.  He stated he could not imagine it being anything else given the entire house was shaken.  The idea of an earthquake on the east coast was so far out of my possibilities; I could not get my head wrapped around the idea. 

Wives of the world in what ways do you or can you  honor your husband's intellect?  Does he provide information that seems so farfetched for you that you ignore him or think he's  joking?  Bryan is typically such a prankster, I actually looked under the bed thinking he had placed something under it to make the house shake, I asked him about the washing machine, and the dryer thinking he was really pulling my leg.  When he finally said, Rochelle, I am not kidding it was an earthquake, it kind of sank it but not really until I heard it on the news.  My lesson, when my husband says he is not kidding, know that he is not.  How about you, how can you honor your husband's intellect today?  I would say today is a day I failed to really honor my husband's intellect and learned a very valuable lesson; to do so in the future.
Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.

Blessings,

Rochelle
