Did you know it's OK to be a good wife...

I realize that this is 2009 and what we as wives have for role models on tv are less then stellar. We don't have to be like "Desperate Housewives", "King of Queens", or "The Real Housewives of Orange County". It is OK for us to identify with June Cleaver or Caroline Ingalls. It's right NOT to belittle your husband or mock him in front of your friends. It's OK for it not to be about us and for it to be about our husbands. We are not to be selfserving, but are to put others ahead of us.

It's OK to have the house cleaned up for when your husband comes home from a hard day at work. He enjoys having a place to unwind and rest for the evening.

It's OK to have supper ready when he comes home. It's our way of showing him how much we care and are concerned about HIS needs.

It's OK to freshen yourself up before he comes through the door.

It's OK to be happy to see him when he comes home. Be attentive to him as he talks about his day. Don't greet him with complaints or problems right when he walks in the door. Save that for later lol...

It's OK to serve him. It's ok for him to sit down after a hard day and we serve him his supper plate.

When we do these things we are thinking of others and not ourselves. We as wives need to do what God would have us to do and not worry about if our husbands are going to return the favor. Things naturally fall into place when we put others first. God is pleased when we do that. I realize that if you work outside of the home, some of this can be hard to do. Do the best you can. Even though you work outside the home, your focus should still be inside the home. That is your first God-given priority. :)

Putting your husband first is not always easy...but we should continue to strive for it everyday. If we fail one day, we should dust ourself off and continue on the next day. By serving him, we serve Him. That's my hearts desire...
