You have to decide for yourself what Pursuing Your Husband looks like. This weekend I want you to be intentional, to really think about your life, your priorities, how your days look, and every aspect of the things that fill your hours. Think about them. Think about how you can make tiny changes. How you can eek out a few seconds here and there to pursue your husband.
Pursuing your husband is not about doing, so that he will do for you.
Once you figure out that, you can figure out just what pursuing your husband is going to look like for YOU. Whether that be an elaborate series of events and actions, or smaller, but still meaningful. The point of this thought-time is that you want to come up with a reasonable expectation for this month, what you have time and means to accomplish.
Put your own expectations of what your husband should do for you aside.
There is one minor stipulation in this endeavor….let it go. I want you to let go of your expectations. Let go of what you think your husband should do, whether he notices or reciprocates is not what this is about. I know this sounds easy, but it’s not.
Completely putting aside the very idea of your husband reciprocating your pursuit, is the only way you can do this without becoming bitter. That you’re doing all this work and he doesn’t even acknowledge, let alone do something in return for you. Can you do that? It’s honestly going to be the hardest part of this series.

I’m really excited I happened across your series. Looking forward to taking this journey with you. My husband and I have be very busy lately – we have a 15 month old, I’m trying to start up a business, and he’s working full time and starring in a theatre production. I definitely could use this. 🙂
I’m excited that you’re here too! That’s so much on your plates. I’ll be praying for you guys to find a few minutes in your day to connect, and that God sustains you both during the time apart.
Awww, what a good reminder to let it go and pursue him without expecting him to reciprocate. I needed that. ❤ Finally getting a chance to start reading through your series! Don’t give up Jess, I need the whole thing!!!! 😊
It’s a hard thing to do! Because we do get frustrated with people not doing for us, or at least showing appreciation for what we do 🙂
