Day One... Encouraging our husbands
  Monday, April 16th
Lets Get Started!!!!
From Nancy Leigh DeMoss:
30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge for Wives
We're so glad you've decided to accept the
"30-Day Encouragement Challenge" to
encourage your husband! Your decision means
that you truly want to be a blessing in
your home. This challenge will also result in
spiritual growth in your own life.
We'd like to encourage you to keep track
of what God does in your marriage over this
next month. We hope you'll take time to share
what God does in your home as you
bless and encourage your spouse.
Day One:
"The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so
he will have no lack of gain. She does
him good and not evil all the days of her life."
Prov. 31:11-12 To refresh your memory...here's
the 30-Day Encouragement Challenge...for the
next 30 days:
*** You can't say anything negative
about your husband ...to your
husband...or to anyone else, about
your husband.
*** Say something that you admire
or appreciate about your husband...
to your husband...and to someone
else, about your husband!
To help you get started, have you ever thanked
your husband for "choosing you" above
all other women? He found you attractive as a
person, and appreciated you. Though
many circumstances in your marriage may
have changed, let your husband know that
you are glad God led you together, and that
you want to be a blessing to him for the rest
of your marriage. Let him know that he can
trust you to be in his corner.
One of the best opportunities to express your
gratitude is first thing in the morning. How
do you greet your husband each morning? Is
he confident in your love? Give him a
"wake up call" that he'll never forget-a big
"I love you" and an "I'm so glad I'm your wife!" |

What a lovely idea you have, here!
I pray others take it upon themselves to do this!
And then CONTINUE to do so!
It really is a blessing to the HOME itself when the marriage is good. If it's not good, don't look at HIM, ladies. Look at YOU. You cannot change another only yourselves. And, that often is enough to effect change!
God bless you!

I will do this I need to do this. We have so much stress in our lives and it tears at relationships. I do believe making a stronger happier marriage it make the stress less. You can get through it eaiser.
Is this all you do though? Just say a nice thing to him each day for 30 days? |

Husband Encouragement
Here is a tip to help in the encouragement dept... This is worth it! I have also done this as a monthly activity with my childern.. what an amazing relationship builder! My childern actually help to pick and mark the date on the calendar each month. Sometimes it is just homemade pizza.. but the rule is: no phone calls, no inturuptions of any kind. This lets not only the husband know he is important, the childern learn this too.
____ Not finding enough time to spend with your spouse? Designate one night each week as 'Date Night' and do something fun with your honey. Don't cancel for anything except a true emergency. If you have kids, book a sitter in advance for a few hours so you can enjoy your Date Night.
This does not have to cost a thing!
