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 278 Honoring My Husband With Respite

Today was one of the best days I have had all year.  After a wonderful thanksgiving day filled with love, great food and fun, Bryan and I spent the day today shoulder to shoulder watching TV movies.  He spent Thanksgiving afternoon hanging out with our nephews playing basketball and pulled a hamstring muscle.  I think he forgot he's not the 20 something basketball star he used to be.  Nonetheless to recover from the activity we just lounged around in our PJ's until we got hungry.  Today I honored my husband with respite.

It has been quite a while since I have had the opportunity to spend that kind of time in front of a TV without a book, my computer or a paper in my hand.  It felt really good and he truly enjoyed it as well.  To our amazement when we did get up his leg was all better and he was able to walk again without pain.  Today I honored my husband with respite by allowing myself to just be.  It was a great moment of honoring my husband's need for shoulder to shoulder friendship.

Wives of the world how can you or do you honor your husband with respite?  Please share your stories with us we would love to hear from you.

Blessings,

Rochelle
