COUPLES – Dear Husband, Make This An Habit

Yesterday we looked at how important it is for wives everywhere to praise their husbands. We looked at how a little girl danced in honor of king Herod and praised him. He was willing to part with half of his kingdom. When women praise amazing things happen.

Today, we will be looking at ‘Husbands Appreciate your wives’.

To appreciate means to recognize the good qualities of something or someone. Husbands, your wives are your helper; they are created for you and for your good.

The fuel that keeps wives going and functioning in their calling as helpers, is appreciating their efforts and labour of love.

Any husband that doesn’t appreciate his wife is stifling the potential of his wife.

Appreciation comes with a sense of thoughtfulness that allows for gratitude. You become grateful for the little gestures and the big things your wife does.

Every wife is moved to do more or motivated by words. For example, if your wife cooks a meal and you appreciate her, she will remember the appreciation and will want to do better the next time she is cooking. If she is not appreciated, however, the creativity to do more or do better is not there.

If the love language of your wife is words of affirmation, you have to give her big doses of appreciation. Appreciate your wife for her looks, appreciate her for her dress sense, appreciate her being a home keeper, appreciate her for her intuition, appreciate her for her sacrifices, appreciate her for her kindness, for taking care of the children, for believing you, for encouraging you, for being there, for doing the dishes, and the list goes on and on.

One thing about appreciation like praise is that the more you give it the more you see reasons the give more appreciation.

In the same way, the less you show appreciation the less you will find reasons to show appreciation.

May God grant us grace to show more appreciation to our wives.

God bless your marriage.
