Tell him how you feel

Image
From Focus on the Family If you appreciate all your husband does for the family , then make sure you tell him. Men may come across as tough as nails, but that doesn’t mean we don’t need to hear how much we mean to our wives and children . It’s nice to know that our families value the things we do. Tell your husband how much you appreciate the way he provides for the family. And be specific. Let him know that you notice the sacrifices he makes by putting his family first, instead of his own interests. Thank him for being such a good leader in the home and an example for your kids. Above all, support him in all he does. You may not always agree with the decisions he makes, but he needs to know that you trust his judgment.

Honesty is critical to a successful relationship. Don’t assume that your wife knows how you feel about her. Take time to tell her every chance you get.

Schaeffer’s Bridges

Image
Image via Wikipedia From Dr James Dobson Many years ago , the late philosopher , Dr Francis Schaeffer said that the bridges that were built by the Romans nearly 2,000 years ago are still standing because they were used only for foot traffic. If large trucks or even cars were driven across them, they would have collapsed. Dr Schaeffer said our culture is like those bridges. As fewer and fewer people know what they believe, there's an unseen weakness in the superstructure . When hard times come, it's in danger of collapsing under its own weight. It occurs to me that many marriages share the characteristics of those old bridges today. They appear to be stable and secure. But as soon as sickness or financial reverses come, the husband and wife turn on each other with a vengeance. Husbands and wives need to reinforce the foundations of their relationship during the good times by becoming best friends and developing a set of common interests. Only then, will they be ready for the ...
