Husband Says, "I Can't Wait to Get Home"
When a Husband Wishes He Were Home Than Anywhere Else
While on his break, he would send me a text message that says he misses me and can't wait to get home.
I think that as a wife, it is something that we are to provide to our husbands--a home that they would look forward to coming home to. As opposed to the quarrelsome wife in Proverbs 21:9 where the husband would rather live in the corner of the roof, it is one of our primary roles--to provide a good home for our husband.
In our modern society where most women are working as well, I think we can still maintain a home that is worth coming home to, not just by our husbands but our children, too. We may not exactly be always present, but we can always find creative ways of doing things so that our husbands will not feel neglected.
In my case, I work at home. And I can be really busy with all the events and creatives that I handle. But when my husband comes home, I make sure to drop everything I do and be with him, talk about his day, listen to his accomplishments and frustrations, join him as he has his meal, etc. Or if I could not be there for him, I try to leave food for him so that he does not have to prepare the meal himself and the most that he would do is to reheat the food. I also try to maintain a level of tidiness in our bedroom so that when he comes home and goes inside our bedroom, he finds a tidy place that smells good and is conducive for resting.
It could be anything. Our husbands have different jobs and as wives, we will find ourselves in varying circumstances. We have different personalities, interests, incomes, etc. Some may find it more difficult than others to make adjustments. But don't fret. Ask God where you can make adjustments and how you can make your husband your priority. If he is not yet your priority, then ask God to change your attitude and disposition and you will be surprised at how you will be guided into doing things out of love for your husband.
Then one day, you will just realize that your husband will say, "I can't wait to get home."

Post a Commentwell it really depends on your priority. if you want to prioritize your husband and your marriage, then this article is for you. but yeah, like you said, many women would rather prioritize careers. that is their choice. but i am not sure if it is only a coincidence that we have a much higher rate of divorce nowadays.
I disagree with the article, for the simple fact that I don't think that women should abide by the old standards of keeping the home clean. You pointed out yourself that women have jobs, just like men - yet I feel like you're saying we should still come home and clean and do everything, even though we're working just as hard! I don't think that's what marriage is about, but that's just my opinion. Keep up the great work =)
