The heart of her husband...For Wives Only

What do you say about his dreams?

While I am truly overwhelmed by the significance of the results of our recent Presidential election, there is one force of this entire historical event that has me inspired most and that is Michelle LaVaughn Robinson-Obama.

If ever a woman has inspired me to be a better wife, this woman has done it! Is there any doubt that Michelle is a force along side her husband? Proverbs 31:11 says "The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil." It goes on to say in in verse 23 "Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land." I think we now know Barak!

We may think we are doing the best we can but until our husbands hearts safely trust in us; until they are known in the gates because of how we take care of them; wives, we are missing something. How many of you wives can truly say, " I just love me some (insert your husbands name here)?" or do you constantly complain about what he is or is not? Are you his best friend? His confidant? Is he excelling because of your help (help meet)? If he is afraid, can he share that fear? If he has a dream, can he share it without you laughing or fearing?

I believe that without a doubt, that First Lady Obama knows her husband and although well-educated in her own right, does not think it beneath her to ensure that her children are well taken care of so that her husband can pursue his destiny.

Can you imagine the conversation that must have taken place? Barak: "Honey I'm going to run for President of the United States." Michelle: "OK, let's do it." The conversation may not have been this simple but the end result is that first, I believe they discussed it and I believe she was with him all the way. Would this be the conversation in your home? If your husband came home today and said "I want to be President.", would you laugh? Would you remind him of all the bills that need to be paid while he is dreaming? What would you say? When was the last time your husband shared his dreams with you? What is his vision for not only his life but the life of your family? Have you asked? Are you willing to submit and follow the plan that God has given him like you said you would when you took your vows?

As women, we sometimes think that just because we are the emotional beings that our men have just grown up and are workers and providers but have no dreams. If he is the President of a dream, you need to be Co-President. Make it a priority to learn your husbands dreams and create an atmosphere so that his heart safely trusts in you.
