Why I Put My Husband First

I have been thinking about this a lot lately since I had Rosalie, and I think that it is so crucial that I put my husband first. It can be hard at times when your thoughts are focusing on your baby 24/7, but it is something that I know I need to do. I love my husband so much, and I want to make sure that he knows that. 

I am so lucky to have Chanse! Chanse and I don't have a perfect relationship of course, but we very rarely fight or even argue. It does happen, but it is rare. I feel like I can talk to him about anything, and he will listen and really care about what I am saying (unless of course the TV is on bahaha!) I am sure everyone thinks their husband is the best, which is how it should be of course, but mine truly is the best ;)

Before we had Rose he was my best friend, my number one, the only person that I really felt that I needed. But now that we have Rosalie, they are BOTH my whole entire world. I know that my relationship with my husband is so important to Rosalie's well being, because I want her to grow up with parents who truly love and care about each other. I am now trying to take the time to do little things for my husband just to show him how much I care and love him. I am trying to be involved in his schooling, and asking him questions about his classes and the future. I am trying harder to show him how much I love him as well by simply telling him often, whether it be through a text or telling him in person. I am also trying really hard to tell him how much I appreciate all of his help with everything. He always helps with Rosalie's bath, changes her diaper when he is home, does the dishes after dinner, and he even helped me with washing and folding the laundry this past week. These things help me out so much, and I want him to know that. I know that life can be crazy, and sometimes we forget to thank our husbands for what they do, but I feel that it is crucial to a good relationship. 

Chanse and I have gone out with just the two of us a few times since Rosalie was born, and this has been great for us. I have said before that I don't like being away from Rosalie very often, but I love the one on one time with my husband, whether it be for 30 minutes or a couple of hours. Going to dinner with my husband is so nice, and going to the temple with him is even better :) I often fall in love with my husband all over again quite often, and I think that this is exactly how it should be.




 

I feel so blessed to have my sweet little family, and I am going to do my best to always put my husband first, no matter what life throws at us. I know more kids will come in time, but they will eventually grow up and leave home. My husband will always be here and we will always need each other.
