I named my daughter Joy because I know that joy comes from God, and doesn't depend upon another person finally making me feel loved.

Thing is, He doesn't hug me after a long day, cuddle with me, kiss my forehead upon waking, make coffee, or play ball with my son. (Can you tell my Love Languages are touch and quality time?) I yearn so badly to be honored, loved, respected, admired, and cherished as you are. Looking into my eyes, I am sure you would see the same longing and lonliness as in your shampooer. You are so blessed. Please pray for me and the other single and lonley readers out here.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13077149500024612890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-39989186539592922182010-05-06T22:20:18.968-05:002010-05-06T22:20:18.968-05:00Wow.

I know many husbands work and support their wife and family but in my case it is the other way around and I feel very resentful about it. I have prayed and prayed but still don't understand why my husband has no desire to support me. He complains about not being able to have this and that and I am thinking to myself and speaking it to - if you would just get out and make some money then things would be better. I am releasing more info then I should but it just came out. I must have needed to get it off my mind. Please forgive for speaking about my husband this way. He is a good man and is wonderful with our son.Tracy Bentleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507865175503529655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-43492263745311715792010-05-06T10:16:13.694-05:002010-05-06T10:16:13.694-05:00Thank you for a great post!

I sometimes wish my husband were more expressive of his love, or would love me differently, but I know he's exactly what I need. Just the other night he came home from an elder meeting at our church, threw his arms around me and held me for a long time. It was a tough meeting with some tough issues and he said, "I'm just so glad you're my wife." Moments like those make it all worthwhile.Shelly Wildmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18366214414205646931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-68161667061095256662010-05-06T09:32:08.288-05:002010-05-06T09:32:08.288-05:00I'd (currently) have to side with Lindsey.

It's there in the little things when I take time to look for them. He just has a different love language.

Then, I would have stopped because there almost aren't words for it, this kind of love we are gifted from our husbands and from God. I would not have longed for it or been lonely for it like your dear friend, for that would have been like being envious of my twin sister's birthday present when I myself got the same thing. But we would have rejoiced together, maybe done a pre-adolescent giddy dance (well, maybe I would have! Ha!). And hopefully, we would thank Jesus yet again for our guys. So glad you are well loved, Kristen. <br />In Him, KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08942626062256558047noreply@blogger.com
