how I know my husband loves me..

I have always been a strong advocate of the five love languages so I was rather surprised when I felt extremely loved by my husband when he told me about some changes he's been making....
I had mentioned my concerns about the safety of Telfon and that I would prefer for him not to use the telfon fry pan in our kitchen in Kentucky...He immediately switched to a cast iron pan even though the cast iron pan is heavy and rather cumbersome and still needs seasoning... =
He told me that his deodorant had ran out and I got him organic deodorant -it's slightly tricky to use cos it's in a cream form...and it sorta slipped my mind that guys don't usually shave their armpits and I felt silly for not getting a roll on type.... But he followed the instructions on the product gamely and goes through a week of detox (ie: not using any deo at all! His colleagues bore the brunt of it I think!) before starting on the cream....

I'm really impressed at his trust in me..
I think my husband is truly convinced that I love him and just want the best for him.......and it also makes want to be the best version of myself and make sure that all the 'recommendations' I give him are the best...but it does make sense..because a husband and wife is 'one body'.... if it is well for him, it is well for her...

This made me think of our relationship to Christ....that it delights Him so when we listen to Him and that it's so much easier to follow what He says when we believe that we are His and have full confidence that what He wants for us stems only from love and is for our greatest good...
