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 290 Honoring My Husband's Recommendation

Two brains are always better than one.
These past few weeks have been really interesting to me.  It seems I had less of a challenge getting my  blog written while I was in school.  Since finishing school and now trying to accomplish my to do list, I am more challenged to stay up late and get it done.  I've always heard the more you have to do the more you get done, think that is what I am experiencing.  Nonetheless I'm hanging in there.  The other night I literally fell asleep on top of my laptop in the middle of my posting.  I think I need to work on the timing of my postings.  Well on Thursday I honored my husband by taking heed to his recommendation.

I have a meeting scheduled next week and the drive is about 90 minutes from home.  I had the opportunity to go the night before but turned it down.  When I shared this with Bryan he gave me several reasons why I should consider changing my plan and go the evening prior.  His reasons were that I would not have to worry about dealing with traffic, I would know exactly where I am going because I can map it out,  and I can get an idea of the community and how I like it.  I also realized I would be more relaxed during the meeting than if I drove that morning.  So I took his recommendation and changed my plans so I could be there the night before.  I felt more relaxed about it the moment I made the change.  It is so great to have a spouse that can help you process things from a different perspective.

Wives of the world how can you or do you honor your husband's recommendations?   There was a time Bryan would offer me recommendations that I initially thought were way out of alignment with what I was thinking.  However history has taught me  that because his lens is so different than mine his perspective was always in what I call my blind area.  Today I am very appreciative of our different perspectives because together our lens allows us to see the whole picture.  How can you honor your husband's recommendations today?

Blessings,

Rochelle
