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 312 Honoring Our Day

Hello everyone, it has been quite the year. I am so exciting to be back and have missed sharing the blessings that come with honoring your husband.   We have been busy, taking care of our new Godson, vacationing, decorating our yard and home and taking care of each other.  Now that I think about it, I've missed several opportunities to share some great moments.  But God's time is always the right time.

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend the wedding of one of my closest high school  friends.  She got married at the age of 49 for the first time.  How cool is that!  The wedding was absolutely beautiful and as with most weddings I could not help but think about when Bryan and I said our nuptials over 13 years ago. 

One of the songs in my friend's wedding was Whitney Houston's "I Believe In You and Me" which was the song I originally wanted for our wedding.  However I was coached by our Minister of music to consider a song that was more aligned to the spiritual theme of our wetdding.  Although I absolutely love Whitney's song, I was so happy for such great advice about our music.  We went on a hunt to find something that was very fitting, told our story and touch our hearts from a spiritual perspective.  Below is the song we selected. We changed a few of the lyrics to make it present and our own, like the word if to cause and loved to love. It is one of the songs from the broadway play Jekyll and Hyde. 

Today I am honoring my husband by honoring the day we became one with the song that was sang while I walked down the aisle. During our premarital counseling the pastor stated if ever you find yourself questioning why you got married, take a moment to pray about and then watch your wedding video.  I have found that listening  to this song reminds me of all I may have forgotten in a moment of frustration.  It reminds me of the love we have and how it has grown over the years. 

If you find yourself in a place of frustration in your marriage, first pray and then listen to your wedding song, or watch your wedding video to help you gain perspective.  Remember we can only change the world by starting with ourselves.  When our hearts change, the hearts around us also change.  Be the change you want to see in your marriage.



How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves.
How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant.
