You honor Him with your love

Day 15...Love is honorable
Today's dare: Choose a way to show honor and respect to your spouse that is above your normal routine.  It may be holding the door for her.  It might be putting his clothes away for him.  It may be the way you listen or speak in your communication.  Show your mate that he or she is highly esteemed in your eyes. 
Honor is not a word we hear much any more.  When I think of honor, visions of men on horses in suits of armor come to mind.  I think of one of my favorite musicals, Camelot.  No, not the movie with the love triangle, the old musical theater production of Camelot.  In Camelot the knights lived by the code of chivalry.  They esteemed and honored those of the feminine persuasion.  Nowadays women and men as well are not given that high of a regard but that's not the way things are supposed to be.

We have the opportunity to honor and respect our significant other even when others around us are not, but even more so we have an opportunity to honor and respect our spouse when we feel like they don't deserve it. 

Take a moment this week to choose to honor and respect your partner, whether they deserve it or not.
