I remember ...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this post, Monica!!! I remember when I was working, before I got married, and hearing the women belittle their husbands and being so shocked. Of course, now, I struggle with my attitude lately. I definitely need to keep in mind how I not only reflect on my self, but my husband, and Jesus as well. Much to think about and ponder. As far as a craft, maybe something like Ruth said, a stitchery or if you are feeling particularly saucy, a wood burning kit something or other. Like getting a wood plaque and a wood burning tool and doing the RESPECT thing. Nice and manly!!<br />EliseElisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669663704444452161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-19951505097133045272011-06-15T09:29:36.226-04:002011-06-15T09:29:36.226-04:00I really enjoyed contemplating crafts for this. I...I really enjoyed contemplating crafts for this. I'm in such a busy mothering stage (similar to you) that I'm definitely concerned with trying to love my husband and care for him above the kids, and you know that's so hard to do!<br /><br />This verse really encourages an attitude and I agree it's hard to think of a craft. I think something that reminds me to check my attitude would be more beneficial than something I could make for him. I think a little box that reminds me to respect him and spread that respect around, filled with a stash of notes of compliments, encouragement, prayer, love, and humor all ready to be stuck in his lunch, luggage, computer bag or whatever. If they're ready to go, maybe I would actually leave him notes regularly!<br /><br />Praying for him encourages respect, too. I printed off a monthly prayer calendar for my husband with correlating Bible verses and I have that hanging in my kitchen cabinet.<br /><br />One more thing that is fun and would put his co-workers in a good mood would be sending goodies to work with him occassionally. That is if your husband likes that, of course, because not everyone does!<br /><br />AmiAmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03995488960083945954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-47816490053155838292011-06-15T08:32:06.116-04:002011-06-15T08:32:06.116-04:00Read your blog often, have never left a comment. ...Read your blog often, have never left a comment. Just wanted to let you know that this post helped me - I am the wife of an unsaved husband - I have been serving God for 12 and 1/2 years, and Proverbs 31 is one I visit often in regards to the respect issue - your insight was helpful - thank you!!

I too have a love of my husband, home and crafting so your blog is a great blessing to me. While I'm afraid I don't have any special idea for you for your project - I just wanted to say what a beautiful entry today's is and I plan to save it to read over and over. I try to show my husband love and respect every single day and this will be a wonderful reminder.<br /><br />God Bless and thanks for a great blog.<br />Sandi S (Maryland)Sandi S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05196835731101138705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-22900979782902677872011-06-14T19:07:42.368-04:002011-06-14T19:07:42.368-04:00I love the mini scrapbook idea.

I agree that what we really need to be careful about how we speak to our husbands and how we speak about them as well.

To every word you shared here - amen...this is a such a heart-topic for me. <br /><br />You have no idea how many times the struggle is there to not join in... and yet how empowering it is to give the honor and respect to my husband (in my heart)- when he has no idea - when I can just walk away and not add my "two cents" to the circle of conversation happening - out there.Bevy @ Treasured Up and Ponderedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821971923515558110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-48442260167842431082011-06-14T09:23:38.241-04:002011-06-14T09:23:38.241-04:00I'm sure you will come up with something wonde...I'm sure you will come up with something wonderfully crafty - you have the best ideas! The post itself is wonderful and I have written short notes to my husband at times of stress for him, that he will find in his work brief case or in his phone case telling him how proud of I am him and how he is hold up under the stress. I want him to know to that I respect him and support him, not showing it to others.LynnMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00638947118932466226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-83646761172269548092011-06-14T07:39:47.811-04:002011-06-14T07:39:47.811-04:00How about a mini-scrapbook of the various elements...How about a mini-scrapbook of the various elements of respect using you and your kids in the different parts. Just an idea...otherwise I enjoyed your post. Before I was married I heard a wife belittle her husband (who was even sitting beside her) in a fellowship group. She made fun of something he couldn't do. I decided then that I would make every effort to 'respect' my husband. One of the ways aligns with one of your points. When I am with friends, or in a bible study, or even coworkers I don't say anything about my husband unless it lifts him up, edifies him, or shows him respect. I have been able to stick to this even after all these years.Susanhttp://www.susanbowers.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-38576730404818006522011-06-14T06:38:18.113-04:002011-06-14T06:38:18.113-04:00Monica,
