*WARNING*
The following post is not meant to be a debate or stir up some kind of controversy.
We are living in a culture that seems a bit confused on the roles of husband and wife, and I for one feel the most sorry for the husbands. They are at the mercy of women and societies ever changing moods and choices and they are somehow supposed to be the breadwinners, the homemakers, and "the strong ones." I am tired of society telling me how a "real woman" is supposed to behave, act, look, when what really matters is how I behave towards others, act within the grace and mercy I've been given, and look like a woman MY man is going to be proud of. While I am a far cry from the Proverbs 31 woman, I have to say the challenge to be "a wife of noble character, who brings good and not harm to her husband, someone he can have full confidence in, who takes care of her family AND works to pay the bills, opens her hands to the poor, laughs, and speaks wisdom" is a challenge I fully accept. Such a woman would be a rarity in today's world.
Which is why, I am calling the women who read this post to do something crazy, unexpected, and rare in today's culture-Romance Your Husband. Yes, romance him. While it's usually the other way and some would suggest it's meant to be that way, I for one found it to be kinda entertaining and enlightening-to see it from my hubby's point of view. There is no secret to romancing your husband and no formula that will make him weak in the knees googling over you going out of your way to tell him, to show him, that he is "THE MAN" in your life. I believe these small acts of kindness towards your man will help him feel appreciated and respected-numero uno for a happy hubby-it will show you something about yourself, and maybe stir up some deep seeded emotions that needs to be talked about in your relationship. So, think of a few things, vow to do one every day for a week, and see what happens. No expectation, no attitude of needed repayment. Just you loving on YOUR MAN.
Day 1
I sent him flowers at work. He laughed because it was unexpected,
but smiled because it was so unexpected!
Day 2
Left my sweet his favorite treats next to his work items so I know he would see them!
Day 3
I took him and his buddy out to dinner-their pick-AND ice cream.
Foster your hubby's "bromance!"
Day 4
Wrote him a love letter on our blog
Day 5
Sent him a $10 gift card and told him to pick the movie! (it was Captain America by the way)
Day 6
Told the world loud and proud that I LOVE MY HUSBAND!
Day 7
Bought us matching cups with some fun ice cube makers and a sweet message that invites us to have a moment together-which is what romancing is all about
