One of the most helpful habits a submissive wife can practice during hard times is this: write a love list.

List everything you love about your husband—from his biggest strengths to the small things that melt your heart. Include why you chose to submit to him. Keep this list in your Bible, journal, or tucked in a drawer.

Then, during a rough patch, sit with a warm cup of coffee and read it. Let it soften your heart. Let it remind you of who he truly is—not the moment of conflict, but the man you vowed to honor.

Marriage will face trials. But love is a choice—one you make again and again.
