Encourage Your Spouse
Cory at Marriage Actually comes up with 6 Tips on How to Encourage Your Spouse.
A great and honorable thing you can do as a husband is to encourage your wife when things seem to get a bit on the downswing of things. Life, and especially married life, can be real tricky. Cory gives 6 tips such as:
1) Nagging Is NOT Encouraging
2) Learn Your Spouse
3) Ask, “How Can I Help?”
4) Know When to Shut Up
5) Take Turns
6) Celebrate Success
You know, of all the jobs I’ve ever had, being married and being a mom are the ones I find the most difficult at times.
And all the while I was a teenager, I’d have thought them to be the easiest.
Great post — you and Cory! I particularly like the “know when to shut up” one
Around here, we use the Austin Powers line – “sh.. sh…sh — and I have a whole bag of shhh with your name on it.”
Sounds like a good list to me!
