very practical areas where you have the power to improve your marriage*
*This is not a comprehensive list, but these are five very practical areas where you have the power to improve your marriage*
*Give respect to your husband.*
We husbands don’t like to admit it, but we are absolutely desperate for your respect! When we believe that you believe in us, we feel like we can conquer the world, but when we believe you don’t believe in us, we can barely get through the day. Even in those moments when your husband doesn’t “deserve” your respect, give it anyways, and your actions will actually help shape him into the courageous man of character God intended for him to be.
“ *So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.” Ephesians 5:33*
2. *Be yourself (and allow your husband to be himself too).*
Bring out the best in each other, but never try to change each other. Be the unique masterpiece God created you to be, and allow your husband to do the same (quirks and all)! As I’ve already stated above, you can learn from others, but don’t feel like you’ve got to compare yourself or your life to anyone else.
“ *For you are God’s masterpiece, created in man to do good works which God prepared in advance for you to do.”Ephesians 2:10*
3. *Create a positive tone in the home.*
More than any other person in the house, the wife has the power to set the tone in the home, so set a good one! Foster an atmosphere where encouragement, laughter, discipline, hard work, fun, love and grace all flow together in harmony. For more on this.
“ *She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness. She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness.” Proverbs 31:25-27*
