Supergirl!

Today I wore a supergirl costume. It included a silver headband, wristbands, and arm bands made out of foil. Why? Because my husband has a passion for children's ministry, and I like to support him. I played supergirl in front of twenty 3, 4, & 5 year olds. I love the kids, yes, but I love my husband more.

Sometimes we think we need to be a “perfect” wife. We have to make great meals, look great, always be available for physical intimacy, and meet our husbands other, various, needs. If you've been married any length of time, you'll know that perfection isn't possible. We will fail in many ways—many times a day! We know that, our husbands know that, too.

And the truth is, we don't need to do everything. Instead we only need to do the ONE THING our husband would appreciate most at that moment. And sometimes that means wearing a supergirl costume. We can each be a supergirl to our husbands today. What does the mean for your guy?
