The Meaning of My Marriage

Having been married for almost 6 months I can safely say I know more and more each day about my husband, however I do not know nearly a percentage of what I will one day about the meaning of marriage or my husband (if that made any sense).
Searching through Scripture Sunday morning before we left for church I was drawn to Proverbs 12:4.

"A wife of noble character is her husbands crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones."

After coming upon these words I was immediately lead to pray that I reflect the wife of noble character, that my actions would resemble a noble wife, and that I would be obedient to my husband Nate.
I then asked Nate what I, as his wife could improve on. Striking his interest he questioned why I was bringing up this topic. I then read him the verse and described to him how I feel like my actions do not always reflect a Godly wife role as it should. He explained to my that as a husband, reading that verse meant more than action. A wife of noble character is a wife that respects her husband, loves her husband, and above all shows him those not only by action but by attitude.
I will be the first to admit that I am far from the perfect wife and that my attitude the majority of the time is not reflective of the Lord toward Nate. I often find myself frustrated at all the "responsibilities" I signed for when I said "I Do" and blame him for my stress. Don't get me wrong I LOVE doing the laundry, and cooking, and cleaning, and being the bread-winner and bread maker of the family. I LOVE feeling needed so much and feeling like my role as a wife is essential to our household.
To be that wife of noble character I am called to do more than act. It is my motivation behind my actions that speak louder than what I am doing. Having dinner ready on the table when Nate gets home is wonderful, and I know he appreciates it (when that does actually happen), however, to go above and beyond as a wife of noble character is to listen to my husband, to put his needs above my own, even if that means I have to set aside something I feel is more important. To be obedient to Nate in both action and in spirit is far beyond something that I can explain.
Walking down the aisle on our wedding day I was filled with so much passion and emotion toward the man that I now call mine. That same desire I had on our wedding day to follow him, must be a daily acknowledgement. I am not fulfilling my vow to Nate if I do not pursue him daily and be mindful of his needs, Nor am I fulfilling my vow if I do not show him love through my actions AND my attitude.
