It is time. The Cuban & I have discussed this & we feel it is time to come out of the closet with who dresses him. Drumroll please... I do. I buy all his clothes; I lay out his workout clothes; I lay out his office clothes; I decide when he retires his clothes. When he travels, I've twisty-tied outfits together; attached notecards to each hanger & taken pix of each pre-assembled outfit & stored them in his iPhone (see pix above). It's sick, I know. But Raul hates to dress himself & doesn't care; I like to dress him & do care. So this works for us. From the belt to the socks to how to tuck in his shirt--I take care of it. The ONLY (& I mean ONLY) part I don't care about is his underwear. I'd like to say one last thing: it's really cool when you & your mate can mesh what one hates & the other loves, 'cause everybody wins. Just ask the Cuban! We've been doing this for 10 years & we both wouldn't change a thing.

Lili - OMGosh! That's so true!! Never thought of that b4. Love u, girl!!!
That is true love, for sure! :)
When I was married I always purchased all of my husbands clothing..and my sons until he was about 18..I just thought all wives/moms did this. ..Yes..I was/am still a bit of a control freak..
Hilarious! I love the pics! Raul is a lucky man.
That is the wisdom of God, He created man and woman to complement each other, no one can reach his or her potential by him(her)self. Behind a great man, there is always a great woman, behing every great woman, is there a great man. Good for you!
Thanks Heather! Now Troy is wondering why the heck I have never packed for him in our almost 20 yrs. of marriage :) My response to him...that's just a benefit of being stylish :)
BTW...that first outfit is totally "stylin"...good job, girl!
I noticed you stuck some Bears clothing in there. Way to stay true to your roots! Hope you are feeling better.
Love you,
JDF
That is awesome Heather. And the fact that you threw in Bears attire...Kam's dream!
Dang, what a hook up yo...I gotta think through all of that stuff every stinkin weekend...Clara what's up? Hook a brotha up Yo!!
Lynn - woo hoo, i'm not the only one. i luv it!
Arturo - sooooooooo true, pastor. Thank u 4 putting it that way.
Steph - LOVED ur post. tee hee hee, this is 1 thing we don't have in common, man ;)
JDF - HEY BRO!!!! u like that Bears shirt??? The perk of dressin' the Cuban - I can decide which teams He supports in his attire. WOo Hoo!
Crystal - Kam's a bears fan?? No way? Thats reason, alone, 2 marry him!
Marc - I will show her the way. No preocupe!
I love that you "retire" certain clothes. Does he ever disagree with you and want to keep a favorite shirt? Great post. I appreciate your transparency as a couple.
Troy spilled that secret during the last book study...LOL

Heather, I must say you are a lucky girl! I only WISH my husband would let me dress him. Instead, he wears the same type of clothes to every function: church, work, sports, dinner, you name it! I might have to "qietly" retire a few items today. :o)
PS - Where to buy such stylish clothes on a budget?
Heather..
I HAD to dress my X..I did let him dress himself..Once..I'm sorry, but I refuse to be seen with a man that mixs floral tennis short shorts, {granted it was the late 80's but still} and striped polo tops..{got a visual?} He forced me into the control freak I am today.. :-)
I'm thinkin' I need someone to do that for me! Wow...
Haha, that is awesome! Well, the flannel shirt he was wearing this weekend when I saw him on Saturday? Good choice! Love how you included all the pictures too. lol

Great idea Heather!!! Glad it works for you guys so well! Looks like you got many of your readers thinking about incorporating it into their relationships :-) If you see some changes in the way couples are dressed this weekend, you'll know why ;-)
peace, hope and love,
Lily :-)
Im glad you dressed him in Bears Gear! Thanks for hanging out on Sunday! We needed some connection time with other leaders.
You're way too organized. My hubby of 15 years is very picky about what he wears, however, there are certain things he will not wear. I don't think he'd ever let me dress him. It's is cool that we can compliment each other in our areas of weakness (Raul's being fashion). You're too much girl. See you tomorrow night!!
Kristin
Thank You Lord!!! I thought I was the only one who did that! I do have have to say, being at such a cool and hip church like FRC makes it sooo much fun, imagine my stress when we served at the suit'n'tie type. I had alot of coordinating to do!!!!
I LOVE a clean vehicle that is shiny AND smells fresh but I hate sweating outside to wash it or waiting in line to have it detailed. Jeff hates laundry & I'm happy to be inside with that type of suds so we swap the chores and we both win! Lots of compromise after 26 years.
Mel - LUV your comment. you helped make my point but offered a great alternative.
Mickee- r u serious?? Woo Hoo!! I knew there was something up w/ u & ur man! Hey, we can shop together...4 them!
For Christ, the City & our Culture - Bro, the nice thing about dressin' him is he'll wear ANYthing I lay out...Cubs & Bears shirts, all the way, baby!
Anonymous - Granamals..LOL LOL LOL LOL. That is hilarious!!
Ileana - really? u liked that? He actually had a few poke fun at it. BUt I always remind him, "Its all in HOW u wear it AND work it!" ;)
LOL!!!
Dave shops for my clothes and dresses me...(when I need to look professional).
He also does the laundry, cleans the house, and irons...yes I'm spoiled :)!! Great Post
Vicky
That post totally made me laugh... SO FUNNY... my dad has good taste... SOMETIMES!!! :)
ahh thanks that was sweet glad she made your day bright:)
Thank God. i remember him before you came along!
You're the best!
My trip comes to end tomorrow and I believe I put my outfits together EXACTLY like Heather had wanted. Thanks for the pics to remind me...I would've been lost without them!
I just wish the pics would've included underwear :)
