Homework...

No one likes to come home to a stressful or messy house.

Challenge

-Do three things around the house that will please your husband. 

Maybe it's finally clearing the papers off the desk, or maybe it's getting the bedroom set up for a romantic night.  No one knows what your man will like better than you.

Double Standard

We women want our husbands to know us.

We want them to know our favorite restaurants, our favorite drinks, our favorite authors, when to touch us, when to listen to us, when to offer to help us, when to let us figure it out on our own, (fill in what you want your husband to know here)______________, etc.

We want them to study us like when we were first in love.

We want them to know us.

But how often do we take the time to know our men and their desires.

Most wives know their man's favorite meal, favorite socks, favorite color, etc.  We know the things that we think are important.

But do you know how your husband's favorite team or player is doing this year?

Do you know what gun is his favorite on his new video game?

Do you know what his favorite type of wood to split is?

Do you really know what he wants in bed, or are you doing just enough to tide him over?

Are you studying him?

Are you taking the time to know him?

Challenge

-Study your husband today.  Watch him and join him in whatever he is doing.
