Love

 

How to love a husband:

In the car, across the console, hold his hand.

On any day, for no reason, make his favorite.

In the midst of tasks, before he comes home, straighten the house.

At church, side-by-side, lightly rub his neck.

On an errand, whatever it is, go with him.

Before you leave, atop his pillow, hide a note.

While he talks, about his topic, listen with interest.

On his birthday, after he’s left, let his co-workers know.

As you pray together, following your worship, thank God for your husband.

Because he wants you to, find the courage, give it a try.

In the heat of conflict, in spite of your feelings, take the blame.

With his preference in mind, without his knowing, plan a date.

When his behavior falls short, if he’s sorry or not, forgive and forget.

If he’s sound asleep, in the middle of the day, throw a blanket over him.

After he makes a decision, whatever the sense, get on his side.

As he walks through the door, from any room, mildly berserk over him.

When he awaits your laugh, after his joke, make him think he’s the funniest.

 

And that, plus a zillion more, is how to love a husband.

If you have one, love him today.
