ABCs of Loving Your Husband

In honor of Valentine's Day, I am posting this as a reminder to all of us wives how we need to cherish our husbands. I honestly cannot remember where I got it, or if I wrote it myself! (No, it's too good... I think I got it somewhere!) If you find it, please let me know where so I can credit the source. (I did change a few minor things, though...)

My husband of almost 5 years, Dan, is such a blessing to me. He is such a man of God and always tries to serve God and our family with his whole heart. No, he is not perfect, but neither am I, and he loves me anyway! I fear I often take him for granted, so I want to make every effort to encourage him and be his helpmate, as the Lord God made me to be. I challenge you to do the same and see if it doesn't revamp your relationship!

Affirm him daily

Be his biggest cheerleader

Count the blessings in our marriage

Don't criticize him (ESPECIALLY in public!)

Encourage him in every way

Fight for his reputation

Give him mind, body, and heart

Help and serve him with every opportunity

Inspire him to chase after his dreams

Just gaze at him adoringly

Kiss and cuddle with him

Love him in spite of his weaknesses

Make sure he knows he's the only one you'll ever want

Never yell or interrupt

Offer to rub his feet, shoulders, and back after a long day

Pray for him and with him daily

Quit nagging! 

Remember why I fell in love with him... and tell him why I still do! 

Stay committed and faithful to him 

Take the initiative with sex

Understand his views and opinions and let him lead

View him through God's eyes

Write him a love letter

X-amine my own heart daily

Yearn for God and His word

Zealously protect and invest in my marriage
