Does anyone find enjoyment out of serving their husband like i do?

Hi Rachel! I totally agree.. we are in the same boat.. Serving the husband and family has a certain degree of fulfillment that we can't explain right? I am also a homemaker with 2 daughters, 7 and 3.. it gets tough at times when things seem to be out of control.. but GOD always find a way to recharge us mom/wife and serve our husband and children to our very best!

I came across to this article.. and so loving our husbands is the best way to teach our children how to treat their mother. So If we care for our husbands and love in the best way possible, so will our children :)

Great to hear all your comments ladies about your love for serving your families. When you have a love in your heart for your savior it is amazing how he shows you how to bless others and truly find joy in being selfless.

Hello Rachel,

I believe that it should go both ways, 5 days out the week I cook and on the weekend he cooks in my house we share responsibilities so everyone can appreciate everyone. Being a full-time mom is a handful juggling chores,cooking and sports. I raised three children all out-going with several sports it was hard but i did it..........going to work is the easy part,handling attitudes all day girl all i can say is god is an awesome god!

I love making my hubby, and family happy. I find being a stay at home mom/housewife the most reward job there is. Sometimes hubby yells at me because I never take time for myself, and I yell at him for not taking time for himself. But I love being able to make him happy all the time. I couldn't imagine my life any other way.

I do! I love making my Husband smile, and laugh... I love seeing his face when I do something special for him. It's wonderful. I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful, giving, and caring Husband. He's my best friend and I love him with my whole heart. Thank you Lord for our Marriage. Btw. Great post!

I give my husband a massage everynight. When our boys were young (sometimes still) I would tell them to quiet down when Dad walked through the door - no yelling/arguing. I wanted my husband to come home to a nice peaceful home...basically so he'll want to keep coming back home.
He has ALWAYS come home after work. We've been married for 15 years.

In my opinion. That God comes before anyone!!!!!!!. If I remember right this is the order it should go-God, Husband, Children, Family, Friends and Church. I very well could be wrong.

I am not as fortunate to be at home with my children. But that doesn't mean I am any less of being the perfect help meet that God has created me to be to my husband. I know that Keep going back to a book to help me and show me what I am supposed to be for God and for my husband, it is called "Created to be His Help Meet" I noticed that the more I serve my husband with joy. The happier life, kids and husband is. And that is all worth it.

That was great to hear your story. Im happy that you found how to make your household a happy place. Yes it is important to put your husband first and it helps you be a better mom for your children

Rachel,

My husband comes second to no one except God. I am a very firm believer that our marriage is over and above any thing else on this earth. even my children come behind him. I can't believe that thier are women out there that believe that thier children are the most important relationship in thier lives and then sit back and whin because thier husbands don't want to talk to them or be at home. I use to be one off those women until I had a big wake up call when my husband told me he didn't even like coming home...So he is a very big priority in my life and boy does it make my life happier. When you have a happy husband then you have a happy mom and in turn have happy children so yes doing things for my hubby brings me alot of happiness

Amen, Amen! There are women out there who cannot understand how a women could be happy serving her husband. Truly I don't think they understand what "service" is and likewise for their husbands. When God is the center of a marriage...it is a beautiful, harmonious union. I feel very blessed in my marriage, perfect no, blessed very much!! Thank you for this post...it is a great opportunity to reflect and build appreciation for what we have yet what so many can't even understand!

Quoting Heather:

I love serving my husband!! And just to add to what Jeannette said, my husband would be fine with me making more money then him. He can't stand people that think that women are inferior. However I love making him happy, and I can do that best from home!! It's also what is best for our kids, because I can train them in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6). When my children are grown and gone, it might be in Gods plan for me to work, it might even be in God's plan before then, but not now. If and when that happens, I know that my husband will support me, but I also know that he will always be more important then any job I could ever have. I couldn't stand the thought of something coming in between us. That includes our children. My husband is the most important thing in my life next to God!!! And I love him so much!!

Yes, my husband and family are more important than my job...just ask my boss! ;0) 

My job may end and then I will probably be at home again...we'll see!

Hmmm....what if your husband is A Okay with you being the one out working? Mine would love for me to make more money than him, and though I do often, it isn't by a landslide. I think it pleases him when I make more money. :0)

My husband and I are great friends. I can't say that I set aside time to do things for him, as that is not always possible in our day to day lives, but I think he and I make serious effort to be affectionate and intimate. We are great partners. We tag team most anything and everything. One night I'll cook dinner and run the kids to their extracurricular activities....the next night we may change roles, or not, it depends on who wants to do what.

I think my husband and I have a healthy respect for one another. We make each other laugh, love to hang out with each other more than friends, and we think of each other when planning activities.

My husband may feel that I am doing special things for him when I cook, because I'm the better cook, and he loves to eat.

My husband provided for my two daughters and myself for almost 4 years by himself, outside the home, but he did nary a chore inside the home....and I felt that was unfair. When he took 2 week vacations from work, he got to leave his workplace for 2 weeks...I was still at mine all the time with no break.

We were fortunate that I got a good job offer when I did. We were living paycheck to paycheck. My kids also would not have been afforded the opportunities of Boy Scouts (camps are expensive, plus uniforms) Girl Scouts (even more expensive) piano lessons for two of them, tae kwon do for all three, baseball, football, marching band, tennis, theater arts, community theater....we had dinner together every night (unless someone was away for an over nighter) even if we only had 15 minutes of opportunity. My oldest just went off to college, and misses that about us. How we had homemade dinners together, even if it had to be rushed.

Hi Rachel,

I love making my husband happy.....I am also a stay at home mom, and you can became pretty creative, while they are gone. I love having dinner waiting for him, the house clean and smelling good.....He does a lot for our family and GOD has Blessed us so much in our life.....We keep the men happy the house is happy....We are the back bone of the family, we have to be strong, AND SOMETIMES IT IS HARD!!!!! I love my position that God has gave me to be that special wife to my husband...
