Here are 5 reasons to motivate you to get ready every single morning as a homemaker:
My husband’s grandmother is always ready for the day. At any given time, you can stop by her house to find her fully dressed, with makeup (and lipstick!), her hair is done, and even her shoes are on!
How different is our current generation of “I can’t even adult” where you are hard-pressed to find young women with even a bra on at home!
Getting ready every day is one of those habits that will transform your life before your very eyes. It can be difficult to do as a homemaker, especially on those days where you aren’t expecting company or leaving the house. Today’s culture seeks to get ready only if it’s truly necessary (and that list is short — I see women in practically pajamas at the grocery store all the time!).
Maybe you are stuck in a rut of only wearing workout clothes every day — or worse than that, maybe you hang out in pajamas all day. We’ve all been there; And there certainly are periods where this is more acceptable (like just having a baby, though you may notice it makes you feel a lot better to get ready anyway!)
Regardless of where you are right now, here are 5 reasons you must get ready every single morning as a homemaker!
You Are More Productive
The way you dress sends a message to yourself about what kind of day you are having. When dressed up, you are much more likely to get things done throughout the day. You won’t be afraid to answer the door or run a quick errand. You will be ready for whatever the day throws your way!
Your Children Take You Seriously
There is a reason policemen wear uniforms — they command respect! Your children will more likely take fully-dressed you seriously versus yoga-pants-and-messy-bun you.
You Take Yourself Seriously
On that note, when you start getting completely ready each morning, you will notice your overall vibe is different. You are telling the world, and yourself, “This work I’m doing matters. Homemaking and child-rearing is special work that deserves to be dressed-up for. It’s one thing to hold beliefs about your work; But your actions ought to coincide with those beliefs – that homemaking and motherhood is important!
It Benefits Your Marriage
It’s possible that your husband doesn’t notice or mind that you wear pajamas all day — but I can assure you he will notice when he comes home to a beautifully dressed wife!
As wives, we desire adoration. We often complain about missing the spark that once existed in a marriage. Here’s how you play your part. Get ready. Care about what you look like in front of him just as you did when first married!
It Glorifies God
It’s not that wearing sweatpants and a messy bun is necessarily sinful, but when we look at the way the Lord talks about our body, doesn’t it seem like our bodies ought to be adorned beautifully and modestly? This is a wonderful way to practice discipline before the Lord, too.
Hopefully you are realizing the importance of getting ready every morning as a homemaker! It is truly transformative!
