Today, you’ll be coming along side your husband to get the job done.
It could be as simple as taking out the garbage, cooking dinner, or washing his car. Offering to do a job with your man is a great way to get the job done, and have some fun along the way.
Prayer for Today
Dear God, let my husband feel he has a partner in me. May he be blessed and supported by me everyday.
Getting Creative
Make it fun and get “his” work done so you can both play.
- Does he enjoy cooking? Maybe he’d appreciate a prep cook for the day. Let him perform his sauté magic while you chop, clean and do whatever it is that will let him release the Rocco within.
- If he’s one of those clean car freaks (we don’t have any at our house, but I‘ve heard they do exist) use your Handyvac skills to clean the inside while he works on the outside.
- Would he rather work alone? Get him a cold drink or a hot chocolate to let him know you’re grateful for the things he does.
Your Project:
Help him with one of his regular jobs or thank him for what he already does.
Cleaned the garage when I wanted to do Christmas shopping. He started the job and I literally drove right into the experience so I helped him get what was important to him completed. Then he said the kids would have a place to play beings it was so cold outside these days. So, it wasn’t for him after all. How nice!
Oh Today should really be fun! We are painting the kitchen……enough said.
As I’ve been working through the different projects I’m the one that is getting blessed. As a stay at home/home schooling mom I have been the main taxi driver. My husband has been making extra efforts to help me out especially picking up the kids at night. Which in the cold winter rainy weather has equated to Knight and Shinning Armor feats!
Hi, This was a very interesting one for us because my husband has his own company, and I help out here and there. What I did was take the opportunity on two occasions to really focus my attention on helping him set some goals and priorities for his company (I mostly played secretary) and then another time he needed to make a big decision on a new contract. I made an extra special effort to really let him talk through all the details and implications and help him work through a major decision. I also gave him some very useful “best friend” feedback helping him to steer clear of a contract that wasn’t best for him, even though he was tempted. We talk about work alot, so sometimes I get tired of it, but it was so rewarding for me to help him avoid a poor decision, and I could have easily just let this one slide right through the cracks.
Hmmm, I’m stuck on this – anyone have some suggestions?
my husband likes to do the dishes after dinner to relax. So tonight I will dry them while he washes. Should be fun!
fold laundry together while we watch some TV
This evening I was real busy getting ready for Junior High ministry I am in charge of. We meet on Wednesday evenings. We are up to 90 junior highers and they like games that are fun, messy, excited. I didn’t ask him to help but he just jumped right in and helped me with what I was doing. He did day two without even knowing he was doing it for me 🙂 LJ
