Little things count...

Challenge

-Be thankful for something that you do with your husband or that your husband does for you.  

What might someone else wish her husband did that your man already does?  

Maybe it's just him coming home every night, or maybe it's buying you flowers for Valentine's Day, or the kisses you share before he leaves for work, or your date, or a moonlit walk, or a drive through the countryside.

-Write down 3 things you can do to make your husband feel like the MAN

Romantic

One of the most romantic things I do with my husband is helping him mow the lawn.

I am serious.

I snuggle into his lap on the zero turn mower and have his arms around me while he steers.

I never would have known how fun it is if I hadn't offered to help him and been interested in his work and interests.

He likes having me close without feeling like he has to make small talk, and I love being in his arms in the evening sunlight.

What are you missing out on by not helping your husband?

Challenge

-Think about the things your husband does and pick one to learn more about.

Ask him to teach you more about it, and ask if you can do it with him some time.

Rottenness...

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: 

but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

Proverbs 12:4

Do you make your husband ashamed?

It may not be obvious that you are shaming him.

Do you tease him about his weight or bad habits in front of others?

Do you talk about him to other "supportive" women?

Is he embarrassed by the children's behavior?

Could he be embarrassed by your behavior?

Men are very self-conscious about their image.

It is important for them to appear capable and strong to those around them.

Are you helping him to feel like he can take on the world?

Are you helping others to think highly of him?

I don't think any wife truly wants to be like rottenness in her husband's bones.

She want to be a crown to him.

She want him to be proud of her.

Challenge

-Search for ways you may be making your husband ashamed.  Make a very large effort to change your ways.

Quality Time...

Light up when your husband comes home.  

Make it obvious that you want to be around him.  

Go our of your way to spend time helping him and loving on him.

Don't whine about how he never spends time with you.  

Go spend time with him.

Challenge
-Show your husband how much you like being around him
