It's all about little things that say "I love you" and it's too bad in today's society we throw the baby out with the bath water in an effort to show our independance and our self-reliance.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-26490552660934901662012-08-06T08:56:27.008-05:002012-08-06T08:56:27.008-05:00Oops....my fingers get ahead of my brain sometimes...Oops....my fingers get ahead of my brain sometimes....that was supposed to say my favorite paragraph in this post is....<br /><br />Sorry!<br /><br />TammyTammy ~ Country Girl at Home ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15357964198971943168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-86595537319429285282012-08-06T08:55:12.502-05:002012-08-06T08:55:12.502-05:00Great idea....very well said....and all I can say ...Great idea....very well said....and all I can say is I'm the same way and Amen! :)<br /><br />My favorite paragraph is this post because it sums me up too!<br /><br />"If people want to think of that as me being old fashioned or a submissive wife, then I guess I am. It doesn't bother me, I will continue to be the wife that I want to be and think I should be, and I will continue to let my husband know how much I love him."<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your heart and what many of us happy submissive wives feel!<br /><br />TammyTammy ~ Country Girl at Home ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15357964198971943168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-29248086937359669312012-08-06T08:28:23.961-05:002012-08-06T08:28:23.961-05:00I guess I am that amish wife too.

I am submissive to him in ways but never a door mat. I am very loud and hardheaded. I CHOOSE TO HONOR him this way and showing my love and appreciation for him.<br />He shows the same for me because I also do work nightshift so I lay everything out for him to rise in the morning when I am at work. I always call to wake him up, his coffee pot has automatic timer, his work clothes are laided out next to the bed and his bag is packed already.<br />I love my husband and proud to be his young precious wife who loves him and God above all.suzannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10397011375074053717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-79664572513870187472012-08-06T07:12:25.540-05:002012-08-06T07:12:25.540-05:00AMEN sister!!!

Well, love. To do so is to debase yourself or be weak or old fashioned. The divorce rate is a pretty good indication of the percent of people that put themselves first in all things. So sad. I'm not ashamed to love my husband and do acts of service to show it.

I love doing things for my husband. I'm not perfect by any means and I wish to be his helpmeet and friend all the days of my life.<br /><br />Great post ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-58214651040286066422012-08-05T18:19:56.232-05:002012-08-05T18:19:56.232-05:00This post speaks right to the heart of me.

Lately, I have been feeling the conviction to be a better wife and homemaker...to submit myself to my husband and to let my actions show honor and respect to him. I agree totally that, that doesn't mean I am his door mat...it means that I am his helpmate, an equal partner in love and mutual understanding. I'm definitely interested in learning more about this 30 day challenge that you speak of!

I think it goes along with the whole trend of demeaning men in general - they are portrayed as incompetent husbands and Dads so often in the media, and when their wives do things to show love, they are portrayed as demanding...<br />Thanks for the post.Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289456727508305342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-42335676635970910822012-08-05T17:12:06.644-05:002012-08-05T17:12:06.644-05:00I soooo agree with you!

(I hope you didn't take offense when I said go back to bed after he leaves) I too believe it is a respectful thing to do for our men. When I was workin..I did the same thing, breakfast, lunch and supper. I will continue to as long as I'm able. My meals are an expression of my love and appreciation for my husband. I've worked with some women that hate men, some wanna-be-feminist that have tried to put me down for what I do but I learned quickly that they are unhappy people that are usually just jealous of the relationship that I have with my husband.<br /> Stand tall!

What you do is to simply live out the heart of the Christian message of loving hospitality and servanthood in your home.<br /><br />It is easy to say we love someone, it is better to show them. Something to be proud of I think.<br /><br />Hugs xSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097784379722861203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-34936374103869093542012-08-05T16:35:20.265-05:002012-08-05T16:35:20.265-05:00i love your post. it is too bad that our society ...i love your post. it is too bad that our society has gotten so far away from showing love to our husband/wife. this world has gotten so selfish and is teaching our children to be self absorbed. you certainly are a role model for women. thank you.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723580487923833571noreply@blogger.com
