All of us at one time or another have had secret – or not so secret – lists for our husbands. No, I’m not talking about the Honey Do lists for this weekend’s chores around the house.
I’m talking about the List – the list of things we think that if our husbands would just change – or improve – or work on – that they would be Perfect Husbands and not just Great Husbands. Whether it’s little things like putting the toilet seat down or bigger issues like controlling his temper, it can be easy (and very tempting) to always point to the flaws we think they can improve – and ignore our own shortcomings.
That’s why I want to make sure you’re aware of a special book club that launches in just a few short days. Kathi Lipp is the author of The Husband Project: 21 Days of Loving Your Man – On Purpose and with a Plan, and she is partnering with Military MOPS to do a book club specifically for military wives on this book. I’m one of the authors participating – in fact, you can check out my post here as we count down to the first day! – and there will be a lot of fun giveaways as well as important challenges as we follow our own list of ways to bless our husbands for the next 3 weeks.
A couple of things to note – you DON’T have to be part of Military MOPS to participate, and you DON’T even have to buy the book and read it if you don’t want to… you can just participate in the blog and challenges that will be covered. Sign up for the updates (you’ll receive an email each day with the new blog post) and grab a friend to keep you both accountable in the project and get ready to start blessing your husband (and be blessed yourself in the process!).
If your husband is deployed – don’t fret – a special group of military wives from MOPS have gotten together to offer tips specifically for wives with deployed husbands on how you can still take on these challenges, even from a distance.
If you sign up, be sure to let Kathi know you’re from Wives of Faith! Hope to see you there!
