Have you ever had days when you forgot you were married? In other words, you got so busy doing “mommy stuff” that you forgot your husband would be coming in? Do you forgot that you’re a wife, too?
Sometimes we can get so involved with the children that we forget that our husband is supposed to be our top priority. Certainly our children require our attention and need to be nurtured, but it’s vital to remember that our husband does, too. Don’t fall into thinking things like, “He is a big boy. He can take care of himself.” Don’t underestimate how much he needs you, too.
As a sidetracked mom, our most important “job” is being a wife to our husband. We need to make him feel special. We need to be thankful for the things he does for us. If you’re like Faith and me, you have much to be thankful for because your husband works so that you can not only stay home, but he also supports you in homeschooling your children.
As many authors will tell you, “A great marriage is the best gift you can give to our children.”
So, let’s talk about a few ways to make your husband feel special. Consider these and focus on the things that strike a special chord with you:
- Complement your husband, especially in front of your children so your children know how to do this. One day they will grow up to be adults, too.
- Develop a genuine interest in his work and hobbies.
- Make your bedroom a peaceful and uncluttered place to be. This speaks volumes to him on how you value your marriage and your time spent together here.
- When your husband comes home from work, stop what you are doing and greet him with a hug and a kiss. Get your children to do this, too.
- Go to bed at the same time with him, even if you aren’t really sleepy. You can always read or work on paperwork in bed.
- Get up with him in the morning. This allows both of you to talk and connect with each other before he goes off to work and before you start your day.
- Teach your children to respect times when the two of you just want to talk. Call it “Adult Swim” or times to be left alone with Daddy. At our house, we’ve taught our children that, unless you’re bleeding, it can wait.
- Finally, and definitely not the least, teach your children to respect their dad. Teach them good manners and how to obey their father. If you don’t teach them, who will?
