Welcome to Marriage Monday!
Today’s topic is “A Love Letter to My Husband.” Today we have the opportunity to express our postive good feelings about our spouses—and to let the world know!
This is timely for me. I actually wrote a post on here last month about Mr. C. and now that I’ve started the Respect Dare last week, this really fits in well for me.
I used to be really sappy and writing a love letter to Mr. C wouldn’t have been any thing but easy to do. However, this week I’ve been finished the first week of the Respect Dare (which I might add that I think I need to do again cuz I want to glean more out of it!) and it’s been learning how to encourage me to see what I long to be as a wife and what I can do to help follow through on that. I love Mr. C enough to want to be a better wife for him. I want to write a bit differently than just “lovey” words, but rather ways I can express my love to him. I love him that I want to be a better mom and help our children function as godly children in this world. I pray that Mr. C will know that he is the most important person in my life and that I long for us to be used by God and that we could grow old together on an adventure for the Lord! I’ve spent my life with a lot of regrets and battle the “what if’s” and I’m learning that I don’t need to. The past is the past and God is moving us in new directions.
I don’t know if I’d classify this as a typical love letter to my husband, but it is a love letter because I want to change myself to better our relationship and I think any wife who is crazy enough to say “God, change me.” loves her husband a lot!
What are some of the ways you express your love to your husband?

You’re right. As wives we need to figure out what makes our husbands feel the most loved.
I’m so glad you’re doing the Respect Dare! Learning to express respect through our words and actions is a challenge… love and “sappiness” comes much more easily to us as women, doesn’t it?
This is so poignant Amydeanne: “any wife who is crazy enough to say ‘God, change me.’ loves her husband a lot!” Jumping up and down clapping!
Also, I like this: “The past is the past and God is moving us in new directions.” Amen. Thanks for the timely reminder…
Love YOU!

Hi Amy,
Thanks for sharing and joining us. Wow, I’ve never heard of the Respect Dare! I will be back tomorrow to hear more about it.

Sounds like a great love letter to me! I too want to know more about the respect dare. I moderate the Love Dare group over at Christian Women Take Root.com and boy, that transformed and challenged my thinking!
Blessings to you!

That Respect Dare book sounds interesting. I may just have to get it from the library.
