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 192 Honoring My Husband's Instincts

Hurricane Irene was predicted to
be one of the largest storms along
the East coast shoreline ever.
Praise the Lord we survived Hurricane Irene.  I know there were many that had to deal with major flooding, loss of access to their homes and damage to their property, and some lost loved ones.  My prayers continue to be with you for an expedient return to what's normal for you.  We were very fortunate in that we only had the loss of our power for about 12 hours.  I am grateful, humbled and saddened all at the same time.

Today I am honoring my husband's instincts.  Several years ago we experienced a major storm that took our power out for three days.  I was traveling so Bryan had to make sure the small generator we had was constantly full with fuel so we would not lose our food.  After that experience we purchased a full house generator.  About three weeks ago Bryan stated we should get our generator serviced because hurricane season is coming soon.  He asked if I had heard it come on for its daily battery charge.  I had not noticed.  We called to have it serviced and sure as heck it was not running properly so they made the necessary changes to get it back in operation.

Today I am honoring my husband's instincts because if he had not paid attention to his intuition about getting it serviced we would have been in the dark for those 12 hours.  I am so appreciative of him taking full ownership for our safety in the home.  I love my home, but one of the things I dislike is that it seems our power goes out at the slightest rainfall.  We live in a very rural area and when he purchased the generator he stated he did not ever want me to be caught at home alone when the lights go out.  I love that he is so proactive in this area.  I just need to figure out how to get my Internet connected to our generator.

Wives of the world in what ways can you or do you honor your husband's instincts?  How do you honor  your husband for ensuring the safety of you and your family by following his instincts to protect you?  If your husband takes care of your car, do you take it for granted that you do not have to worry about your tires, oil or brakes?  How can you honor your husband today for his instincts? Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.

Blessings,

Rochelle
