My Husband Rocks Vol. 7

No husband is perfect and it doesn’t really matter. What matters is how I set myself up to think about him. If I focus on his failures, his annoyances, or ways in which I’ve felt hurt by him, then I will interact with him as a hurt and frustrated and disappointed wife. That makes for miserable living for me and my husband and those around us. But if I focus on his strengths, his potential, and the ways in which I feel blessed by him, then I will interact with him as a forgiving, blessed, and contented wife. And there’s no greater need a man has than to feel respected by his wife. If he feels like all he does is hurt, disappoint, and frustrate, then the same atmosphere and the same actions will be perpetuated. But if he feels that his wife can be happy and responsive regardless of his shortcomings, he feels respected and empowered. Then a positive atmosphere is perpetuated and actions, once destructive, can improve in an environment that is rich for cultivation and growth into deepened respect and intimacy."

Before we get started I wanted to take a moment to introduce a new facet of My Husband Rocks! MHR Sundays will now have co-hosts! Starting next weekend I will be joined by some very special ladies who also have a lot of love for their husbands/significant others! Be sure to check in next week, when Lacey from Little Miss Nerd Girl will be joining me!

Often I talk about what my husband does for our family, but I hardly ever talk about what he doesn't do for us. Now, before we get too far ahead, this is the GOOD stuff.

He doesn't drink.
He doesn't go out and party.
He doesn't do drugs.
He doesn't lie, or cheat, or steal.
He doesn't gamble or indulge in irresponsible behavior.
He isn't lazy or unmotivated.

And for that, he rocks.

'Nuf said!
