Day 265 Honoring My Husband With A Reprieve



Time, like distance helps the heart grow fonder.

 Bryan has been working late the past couple of weeks which has afforded me the opportunity to focus on studying.  However on Saturday he found his calendar open in the afternoon.  He called me wanting to attend an event with all the men in his family that he had forgotten about, but he had committed to spending the evening with me.  I could hear the guilt in his voice.

I also found myself needing to continue reviewing my work for school and was also feeling guilty for wanting to ask him for a reprieve to continue working through it.   I shared with him that I was perfectly okay with him enjoying his uncles who he hardly ever spends time with and I shared my dilemma as well.  Today I honored my husband with a reprieve which turned out to be a win, win for us both.  We both acknowledged we cannot wait until we go on vacation because we know there will be no distractions and we will be able to simply enjoy each other's company.

Wives of the world how can you honor your husband with a reprieve?  Is there something he needs to do but feels torn between that and a family commitment?  Sometimes a reprieve increases the desire for togetherness.  Although Bryan and I proceeded to do what we felt we needed to do we shared how much we were both looking forward to spending time together and missed each other during that time.  There truly are times when distance really does makes the heart grow fonder and it doesn't have to be across the miles, it could simply be across time. How can you honor your husband with a reprieve on today?
Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.

Blessings,

Rochelle
