We talked about this in one of our very first sessions; why we need to make our husbands a priority. There’s something that I need you to realize: The relationship we have with our husbands is the single most important relationship we will ever be in, next to our relationship with God. Sounds extreme doesn’t it, but it’s true. Our homes, our kids, our jobs, our lives will all go to pot if we don’t prioritize our marriages.

It’s hard…I totally get it. We feel like there is a constant gun to our heads when it comes to kids and jobs and housekeeping. The only one not holding a gun to our head is our husband, and most likely that’s because he has his own guns. Ask yourself: Can you afford to NOT prioritize your husband? Divorce is expensive, and not just in the monetary sense. It will cost you, your spouse, and your kids everything. *

We have a lot of demands on our time. I get that. How about we take some of those demands and use them to pursue our husbands. I know you’re thinking, “Seriously?! I’ve got enough on my plate.” This has more to do with a change of heart, than adding more things to your to do list. There are so many things that we do, as the wife, that we end up doing begrudgingly. Feeling as though our husband should take the initiative to do those things.

Tomorrow I’m going to talk about what this can look like, but today, I want you to think about the myriad of things you already do in your home and how you can do them differently, so as to bless and pursue your husband.

When it comes to your friends, what kind of friend are you? Do you go out of your way to help them? Spend time with them? Now, do you the same for your husband? We all stumble on this one. Often the people who are closest and dearest to us are the ones that get put on the back-burner. Kids are rather demanding so the chances it is them, is slim to none; but our husbands….that’s another story.

This week we’re going to talk about pursuing our husbands through our priorities. I’m not talking just about making him a priority, this whole month has been about that. What I’m talking about is how you can pursue him by being more intentional in doing things for him. Whether it’s in the doing of little love notes and baking goodies or in taking a few things off of his plate.

Let me explain how this is going to work: We all appreciate it when someone does something for us, when they lighten our load. We especially appreciate it if our love language is acts of service. When we go out of way to do things for someone we are showing them that they are important to us, that the little things they may or may not ask of us are important to us, because THEY are important to us.

We get busy, we forget to do things {or become annoyed when asked to do them}, and in the forgetting we stop prioritizing our husbands. We make them feel that they’ve become another burden for us, rather than someone we WANT to be with and do things for, and that’s just not pursuing our husbands.
