What have you done lately, husbands for your wife? I’m not talking it’s her birthday or your anniversary or a holiday. What have you done this week for your wife? Have you fixed a meal? Have you done the laundry? And maybe these are your regular chores so they don’t count if they are. Have you rubbed her shoulders or done something without being asked, just because. And have you done it without the expectation that you might be getting something back? (And you know what I mean!)
Yes, I watched Fireproof the movie and it stirred some guilt for letting some husband duties slide. Gentlemen we should be doing something at least weekly for our wife without her expectation of it. If you are a little snippy with your comments to your wife – CUT IT OUT! If you think you can watch sports on TV all day long, find at least one hour to do something for her. If you haven’t given her a break from the kids, then send her away for a little shopping or a coffee while you wrestle the ankle bit(I mean the little cherubs) for an hour or two. Clean the toilets or some of the things she might hate doing. Get her oil changed if she has to find the time to do it herself.
This ain’t date night, this is just being a good and Godly husband. Gentlemen – report back and let me know some of your ideas. It’s not bragging time, but some of us need a little help and reminders once in awhile to be supportive husbands.
