Support your Spouse
Sometimes its up to you to pump up someone's ego; to help show them the things about themselves they can't see. When someone in your life chooses to do something to improve their life, or improve their relationship with God- raise them up, praise them, and support them in this decision! Often we think of praising and supporting our kids' efforts, but what about our spouses? Don't forget to pump up your husband or wife- tell them they ARE awesome for doing the laundry, or for dealing with horrible people at their workplace. Applaud their accomplishments, and go out of your way to make self-improvement possible for them. If both of you can do this for each other, imagine the possibilities. Now go tell your spouse how wonderful they are, and be specific.

Heck yes!! I've been trying to do this more recently; Joel doesn't see the point in it because he believes that we should be able to pump up ourselves...but it's still nice to be appreciated every once in a while!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying this lately too! I mean I have been laying it on thick. So thick that I thought my husband would think I was being fake. I wasn't, I was just being a little extra with it. Anyhow he has been eating it up! He said to me the other day that for the first time in a long time he felt like a real man and like I trust him to guide our lives and make decisions for our family. He bought me a new ring, and does ANYTHING I ask him. WOw what a concept. Don't forget your spouse. He in turn has started to thank me for things as well and comment on what a great mother he thinks I am. You hit it on the head Danielle.
