A Special Visitor

Next week, a very special person is coming to visit you at your home.

This person is very important to you.  You respect him/her a lot.  Their opinion is important to you.  You like and admire this person.

For example:

• The President 
• Jesus Christ
• Your boss
• Gandhi
• Adelle 
• Buddha
• The Queen of England
• Your mother-in-law
• Madonna
• Russell Crowe
• Michael Pollan
• Gloria Steinem
• Benazir Bhutto

Would you tidy the house?  Clean?  How would tell your children to behave?  How would you dress the day that person arrived?  How would you greet that person at the door?  How would you speak to them?

Question:

Is this how you prepare for your hubby?  Every day?

Keep your house tidy and clean.
Teach your children manners.
Dress nicely.
Greet your hubby at the door when he comes home, or go to him when you come home.
Speak sweetly and kindly to him.
Treat him like a King.
 

Panties in His Lunchbox

Today, I started a list of the sexy little things that HubbyHubby loves:

• putting my sexy lace panties in his lunchbox--surprise!
• wearing lace panties with his white T-shirt at bedtime while we sit next to each other.
• thanking him for making the bed this morning.
• rubbing his shoulders at night.
• sending him a "Thinking of you" text.
• sending him a "Thanks for the fun weekend" email.
• putting a "You are the BEST!" note in his lunchbox.

Question:

What is on your list of sexy little things that your HubbyHubby loves?

Try the panties. I dare you.

"Submit"... WHAT?!

The word is "submit."

I know, I know. This is a CRAZY word.  But let me explain...

For me, "submit" means:

loving obedience by proper arrangement and deliberate decision.

Let's say that again. Submit means to lovingly obey, by a proper arrangement that you have with your hubby, and it takes a deliberate decision. 

For me, I deliberately decide to lovingly obey HubbyHubby according to the proper arrangement that we have agreed upon.

Example: Big G (my 11-year-old daughter) wants to listen to music on an iPod with headphones. I don't think it's a good idea.

HubbyHubby and I discuss this for a few days.  HubbyHubby says, "Just 10 songs, and after her chores and homework are done. Download some old rock. Include some Bob Marley, too." Huh? Okay. I lovingly obey. Big G is super-happy. Chores are done. She's ahead in her homework.

Because of that, I didn't drive HubbyHubby nuts by being adamant, obstinate and belligerent. 

What did I do? I submitted to my Hubby. We did not do what the Joneses do. We did what we worked out according to our proper arrangement. And I made a deliberate decision to follow his lead.

"To submit is an experience beyond words. It's the greatest honor a wife will ever have, and only she can fulfill that responsibility with her husband. There is no substitute--only the wife can be submissive to her husband in this category of life and to this depth." -- Donna Martindale, 1994

"Submit" doesn't happen overnight.  Sleep on it.  Think about it.  Comment on it.  Ask questions about it.

I encourage you to choose one issue to consider submitting to your hubby about.
