My husband is one of my greatest blessings from God. His love is a gift that I open every day.

I absolutely adore this quote because it really shines a light of how much we are to cherish our husbands. My husband is one of my greatest blessings from God and because of that I always strive to not only tell him this but to make him feel it. I want him to know without a shadow of a doubt he’s one of my absolute top priorities.
I think we’ve gotten really caught up in a world that strives on independence and separation. Honestly, I think it comes from a really jaded standpoint. Many people seem to be playing out a societal and generational fears. Our society is so afraid to get hurt and taken advantage of. Its important to be cautious of who you allow in your heart. However, I don’t think we should completely run from true companionship either.

There is an amazing book The Five Love Languages by, Gary Chapman. I love this book! We all have one of these dominate ways we feel the most loved. We all have a way we best feel loved. When showing love to your husband you may be expressing love through YOUR love language. Now anyway you show love is great. If you want him to to receive the full spectrum of the love you’re giving start speaking his love language! I recommend reading this book and taking the quiz with your husband. Its such a blessing to learn each other’s love language. Being efficient in the way you love your husband is a wonderful way to bless him.
AFFECTION! This one is HUGE… Wives here’s a not so secret “secret” men love affection this absolutely includes intimacy it also includes non-sexual touch. Both types of affection are really important for men. Rejection of affection can have really damaging effects on a man and your marriage. Put your hand on his lap, give him a massage, sit close to him and of course be very giving in the area of sexual intimacy. We hear lots of controversy on this topic in our modern world. However, I stand by it. I truly believe that making an effort in this area is a sure way to make your husband feel incredibly blessed.
This pours over into so many areas of life. I’m blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. I love it because it’s my job to be my husband’s aid in life. This includes all the little things like getting up in the morning with him. Make sure he gets a nice breakfast in, making his coffee, doing the laundry, master the skill of cooking delicious home cooked meals etc. This is a valuable job. I remember what it was like when we both worked full time and it was hard on our family. Make his home life easier so he can thrive! If our husbands are going providing for us the least we can do as wives is be their aid.
Some husbands are visionaries, and some aren’t. If your husband is not a visionary dreamer help him vocalize potential dreams and spark the things that inspire him. Know you husband. Identify the things he’s good at and ask him questions. Try to help him cultivate things to dream about. We all need dreams and goals in life to help us grow and be excited for the future. You can be a wonderful teammate to your husband. Be an activator and supporter! Help him make his dreams a reality and get excited for the topics he finds enjoyment in.
There are so many reasons to take care of yourself this includes mentally and physically! Theres nothing life giving about a overworked and stressed out wife. When it comes to mental, I think we’ve all struggled with difficult seasons of life. We need to be really honest with ourselves. Take action to thrive mentally so we can put our best selves forward for our family. We also need to put the hard work in when it comes to our physical bodies. Learning to nurture our physical beauty and not destroy it. Try to figure out the little things you do to your hair and makeup that your husband seems to enjoy.
Saying “I do” were two of the most important words we could have said to our husbands. That promise is not to be taken lightly and neither is your love.
