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 279 Honoring My Husband With Recreation

When Bryan and I decided to take the family on vacation for some reason we both thought we were  heading into very cold climate.  Probably because we knew we would be in the mountains but we had forgotten we were traveling south so it was a nice surprise when the weather in the Shenandoah Valley has been in the mid to high 60's since we've been here.

Today was yet another opportunity to honor my husband with the shoulder to shoulder friendship he so desires.  We don't always get the opportunity to exercise together and today we did, spent time relaxing in the whirlpool and swimming pool and then had a great dinner.  It was the kind of day that I love to have while on vacation.  For me whenever we are on vacation, every day feels like a date.  We typically do not have to worry about who's going to drive and when we do he will do all the driving so I feel special every day.  We get to plan the activities we are going to do or not going to do.  What I love most is that we get to determine how we are going to spend our time together instead of wondering how much time we will have together in a 24 hour period. 

Today I honored my husband with recreation by just having fun together and honoring both our need for shoulder to shoulder friendship and closing out the day with his need for the S in C.H.A.I.R.S.  If you don't remember what the S is, shame, shame, shame.  You can find the answer on Day 207. 

Wives of the world how do you or can you honor your husband with recreation?  While we were going about our day it dawned on me that if I want to have this experience on a more regular base, I just need to plan it and let Bryan know.  He is wonderful about ensuring we get the time together both he and I believe is needed.  I love it when the day is filled with emotional deposits into both of our accounts.  How can you honor your husband with recreation today?

Blessings,

Rochelle
