Cliff & Clair Huxtable



I grew up watching this family. I loved watching The Cosby Show. Recently, I've been watching episodes on Netflix and I love the episodes even more. Especially the love between Cliff & Claire.


Their love reminds me of the love between Nic and me. Well, mostly the love Nic shows me. I know that sounds bad, and don't get me wrong I love my husband dearly but he does a far better job of showing that love. After watching countless episodes of the The Cosby Show, it's encouraging me to be better.



Cliff and Claire are successful people (Cliff being an OB and Claire being an attorney) and yet with their five children (four at home during the early seasons) they still make time for each other. Time for romance. Time for love. What's my excuse for not taking time out for my husband? For both of us really, not making enough time for each other?



I have long believed that love is an ACTION. It's so important to continually love your spouse. Love takes work. It is simply not a feeling that one day disappears. Love is an act that we have not continually demonstrated to our loved one that causes love to disappear. If we are showing love, how can we not feel love? Today I vow to love my husband more. I encourage all of you to take that step as well and love your significant other more today.



Oh, and do yourself a favor if you have never watched any episode of The Cosby Show, go to YouTube and search Cliff and Claire Huxtable. You will laugh and you will be inspired.
