When I was younger, there was a family friend that
really inspired me to be a loving and devoted wife to the man I would someday
marry. One of the things she did that made a deep impression on me was, every
day, just before her husband was supposed to get home from work, she would put
on a clean apron, fix her hair, and make sure that her little boys were clean
and ready to greet their daddy. She treated him like a king, and he, in turn,
loved her and treated her like a queen.
Now that I have a wonderful husband of my own I’ve been
thinking a lot about how to show him love and honor, and it occurred to me that
each husband is unique and values different things. While there are definitely
some basic ways that show honor to every man, my husband, and every husband out
there, has specific things that are meaningful to him, and other things that
don’t really make much difference to him one way or the other.
I was visiting with one of my friends about this
subject, and we both decided to specifically ask our husbands what mattered the
most to them when they walked in the door from a long day at work. Since then, I have asked a few other friends
for some feedback on the same question, and these are some of the different
ideas our husbands gave us: A clean and tidy house, a special kiss, just being
there to greet him and welcome him home, and a tasty dinner coming
up.
These are just a few ideas – the important thing, I
think, is to find out what your
husband values, and then do your best to give that to him lovingly and
respectfully.
