Last night I was sitting with a couple of gals and we had touched on this subject and one of them said something that just stuck with me the whole night. She had said "we were created to be their helpmates, we were created for them." Now I've heard it many times before but this time it stuck {Praise God}. And it reminded me of this great video I had seen before...encouragement to be the woman of your husbands dreams. Is that possible? Yes...it is! Just simply love him today, no matter what he has done to you or not done. Love on your hubby today, he just needs you to love him and respect him. God commands it in Ephesians 5:33 to respect him.
Love him like theres no tomorrow. We are not promised tomorrow anyway! You don't want anyone else to grab his attention.

I challenge you to cherish him, make him his favorite meal today. Rub his neck or back, they just love when you even touch them. They work so hard and are probably stressed out by the time they come home. I know when I worked I would just love to have my hubby rub my feet, my back or my head. It helps relieve the tension and stress of the day. Who would not want to come home to a back rub. I know sometimes we can forget with the busyness of our day, to stop and thank them for what they are doing for us, tell him how much you appreciate him and love him working so hard for your family. I'm sure they would just love to be at home with you.
Remember we were created for him to be his helpmate. And they love to here you give them praise. I challenge you today to say at least one nice encouraging thing to your hubby and give him some lovin' {affection-rubbing of back or neck}. You will not regret it. This is an area of struggle for me and I'm sure for many of you. If not...then Praise God! I would love to glean from you.

I have to share, the other day I was snuggling next to my hunny, something I don't do often {forgive me Lord} and my husband told how much he loved it, by his reaction was all I needed to know he loved it. And then later he said I love when you give me attention I need it. So woman they need our loving. Just a simple hand on the shoulder or holding of the hands, caressing his hair, a kiss. Anything......will do. If you don't believe me just try it and see what happens.
Scriptures
So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man." Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Genesis 2:21-25

Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 1 Corinthians 7:3 NKJ
Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel-- rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror. Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. I Peter 3:1-9
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. Ephesians 5:33
Good Bless you!
