We all know that we’re not promised tomorrow. For God’s word says, …you do not know what tomorrow will bring (James 4:14). So why do we tell ourselves things like “One day I will be a better wife.” or “One day I will show my husband how much I love him.”

Instead, as wives we should make a daily choice to love our husbands as if we were going to lose our husbands. Don’t wait until tomorrow to say I love you. Don’t wait until tomorrow to give him a hug and a kiss. Don’t wait until tomorrow to make love to him, just because you’re not in the mood. Don’t wait until tomorrow to make time for him.

There are so many women out there who wish they could have just one more moment with their husband. Wives who wish they could feel their husband’s touch, or hear his sweet voice again. Wives who live with the regret of what they should have said or done differently.

I don’t want to end up like that! I want my husband to know without a doubt, that I love him. I want him to know that I don’t take him for granted. I want him to know that I cherish every moment spent with him. I want him to know that I will never intentionally hurt him, and that I respect him. I don’t want a day to go by, that I don’t thank God for my husband and for my marriage.

Let your husband know that you appreciate him. For every woman out there who’s griping because her husband works too much, there’s a woman whose husband won’t work at all. For every woman out there who’s griping because her husband don’t go to church every Sunday, there’s a woman whose husband don’t believe in God. For every woman who’s griping because her husband is lazy, there’s a woman who’s dealing with much more serious matters. For every woman out there who’s griping because of her husband’s past mistakes, there’s a woman whose husband won’t change. Thank your husband for every little progress he makes, and remember to focus on the good and not the bad. Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thes 5:18).

I wish I could say I’ve always been the type of wife who don’t take her husband for granted, but that’s just not my story. I can’t change who I used to be, but I can change who I am today. And today I choose to be the wife God called me to be. Today I choose to live a life that will leave a legacy for generations to come. And I choose to love my husband as if I’m never going to see him again.
