30 days

Recently, I’ve seen a lot of articles and series on improving something over 30 or so days.  “31 Days to a Better Blog” or “30 Days to a Better Man” are a few that I’ve seen.  And it got me thinking about what I could do for 30 days.  So I decided I would embark on a personal challenge: “30 days to being a better husband.”  The challenge I laid out for myself was this: for 30 days, I was going to serve my wife and try to be a better husband by doing something different and special for her each day.  I chronicled each day of the project in a blog online.  Yesterday was the last day of my experiment, so this morning, I emailed the link for the blog to my wife, to let her know what I’d been secretly working on for the last month.  It was definitely a challenge, but it was also fun and an chance to learn more about my wife, and myself.

So now, I’m going to throw down the gauntlet and challenge you.  Set aside 30 days and come up with something special to do for him or her each day.  And then, if you want, let me know how it goes.

Thanks so much for presenting this challenge! I am on day 10 and so far…am having a lot of fun! I am not sure that my husband notices everything that is done, but that’s not the point of this. :) It is a busy time of year for farmers and we are not seeing a whole lot of each other right now. So this has helped me to get back in touch with him even though we may not have all the time we normally would together. Thank you again for mentioning this on the radio! It is a great challenge!

Theresa, thanks for taking part in the challenge! I’m glad to know you’re working hard to serve your husband. I’d love to know how it goes, so feel free to drop by again and let me know from time to time.

I know it’s been a few months since I have responded. I did do the 30-day challenge. I missed a couple of days, but was able to keep up for the most part. My husband enjoyed it! When the 30-day were up, I asked him if he had noticed anything different over the past month. He had and then I shared with him what I was doing. He appreciated the time I put into it and enjoyed the little things that were done for him.

Thanks again for the challenge! :)
