One Way to Know I've Earned Trust
About a week and a half ago, my husband and I hosted some people at our house for an evening visit. I was serving chocolate cake and tea, and my husband asked me to do something for him right in front of the guests (and I did it). And then yesterday, my husband asked me to do something for him right in front of someone else (and I did that, too). I had wanted my husband to feel comfortable that he is the man of the house and feel like he can tell me to do something with assurance, trusting me that I would not embarrass him. Score, I am so glad that I know after these two assurances (assuring me his heart trusts in me). I do hope to earn his trust in more and bigger ways with a willing and ready "yes" when he needs me when company isn't around (and when it is or wherever we are), so that others can see my "light" (a light of a wife is her submission) shine. If you want assurance you've earned trust, knowing and watching your husband ask you to do something when you have company around is one way to know. Pray to that end. It really does raise respect for both your husband and yourself. In both situations, a sense of more respect was given us both.

I think one of the biggest challenges for me, is to respond willing, submissively, kindly and joyfully in the everyday interactions, when no one else is around. I want my husband to be able to trust that he will receive a good, positive, Godly response both in front of others, and when it's just us at home.
