What kinds of things really make your husband feel appreciated and loved? What makes him feel wanted? What makes him feel like he has value in your eyes? Some answers may come easily to you, but others may not. Please give this more than a cursory thought and intentionally do and say what will bless your husband.

It's so easy to get caught in "living" that husband can seriously feel unimportant. Women tend to be the more emotional and vocal ones in the group. We are so good at asking for the attention we crave. Whereas men may avoid sharing their feelings of loneliness. I have found out from my husband that he likes to have me listen to him and his thoughts too. This is a great reminder to be mindful of the needs of the husband.
ReplyDeleteIt is easy to take others around you for granted. I am going to try to be more attentive to my hubby.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby likes his ego stroked when he repairs something around the house. He is WONDERFUL with his hands and can fix anything! No matter how often I stroke him, he can always handle more. Sometimes I'll say, "Can I stroke you later?" LOL!
ReplyDeleteHi Q,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about that. Life can cause us to be like passing ships in the night. Keep on listening to your husband and his thoughts. It will pay dividends in helping your marriage become stronger.
Hi Pam,
ReplyDeleteGood decision. Any resolution we make helps take us one step further to being generous wives as Lori teaches us with her tips.
Hi Momsweb,
LOL! Sounds like one of his love languages may be Words of Affirmation. Keep on pouring it on baby because their are women out there that the enemy will try to use to speak those words and tempt him sore. When his need is fulfilled at home he will be well insulated against those outside attempts of the enemy.
