Do You Admire Your Husband?

Pop quiz:

1) List all the flaws of your husband.

2) List all the things that you admire about your husband.

Grade yourself: Which question was easier to answer?

There will be some women out there who find it easier to admire their husband than list his flaws. But I would venture to say that most of us find it easier to list their flaws. It's a part of our sin nature!


So let's break out of that mold - go against the grain of the world and praise our husbands!!!


This weeks Marriage challenge is: Admire Your Husband. If you are a blogger write a post all about your husband and what you admire in him and then show it to him! He will smile! If you are not a blogger, list the things you admire about your husband in the comment section and show it to him!


Showing it to him is so important. You may THINK he already knows the things you admire about him - but I'm afraid we don't tell our husbands often enough how much we do.

Wouldn't you love it if he did this for you? Luke 6:31 says "Do to others as you would have them do to you." So here's your chance to selflessly gush about your man!

Here's what I admire about my husband:

1. He is wildly intelligent. He continually amazes me with his ideas, visions, and success.

2. He is fiercely strong. I have said before - "he is stronger than 1,000 warriors". He has survived much in his life and can handle heavy burdens and challenging situations with ease.

3. He is quick witted and hilarious! He makes me laugh all the time. His perspective on life and happenings crack me up!

4. He makes the kids laugh - he is a fun dad. Just 2 days ago, in the midst of being extremely sick with no voice - he was popping cherry pits out of his mouth by pushing his nose or pulling his ear. The kids roar with laughter! Actually, at times I have to ask him to stop being so goofy cause the kids get out of hand. He is a very fun hands on daddy.

5. He is a patient listener. He listens and listens and listens and when I think I'm done but remember one more detail I want to share - he listens some more. I am very chatty and he is an excellent listener. He is the same way with the children. Every bedtime that he is able, he sits on the bed with each child and talks with them about their day. These turn into 30 minute conversations regularly - I love it!

6. He is loyal, trustworthy, dependable, and reliable. What he says he will do - he does. He is a great provider and strong leader. He is extremely consistent.

7. Under all his mighty warrior strength, he is tender. He has a soft spot in his heart for me and the children. He would move mountains for me if he could. There is nothing he won't do for us. His favorite thing to do with Alexis is paint her nails. And his favorite thing to do with Alex is play football and teach him martial arts moves.

8. He loves Jesus. He teaches the children about Jesus. He prays for us. He fasts with me when I have heavy burdens. And he can be found regularly in his office reading his Bible in the mornings.

9. He has a very generous heart and hand. I wish I could share with you all the times he has generously given - but he would not be fond of that. But trust me - this man is a giver - big time!

10. He supports me in this ministry - Women Living Well. He encourages me to stand strong. He wisely advises me on issues. He keeps me focused. He shares my passion and is my sounding wall regularly for what I write on here.

Keith is the perfect fit for me. I am a strong woman and it takes a very strong man to lead me. I am so thankful I married my warrior! God has blessed us greatly and I know much of the blessings come because I have a man who is yielded to God and his word. He does not waver in his faithfulness to God or to me! And the security he gives me in this is priceless.
