Encouragement

What is the best thing a wife can do for her husband? Believe it or not the answer has nothing to do with sex, contrary to popular belief the greatest need for a man is not sex. The greatest gift a wife can give to her husband is encouragement. Men want to be encouraged in their homes. I can't put my finger on the reason why but for a lot of wives this is a difficult subject for them. Some wives believe that their husbands get encouraged at work and that's enough. But husbands really want to be encouraged at home. Im here to tell you one of the main reasons why guys go out and find joy away from home is the lack of encouragement they are feeling from their spouse. Leaving a note for your husband on the mirror while he is in the shower can really be the catalyst for him to have an outstanding day. When a man feels encouraged and loved that makes him feel like he can do anything, take on any challenge and be successful.
This also works both ways as husbands need to encourage their wives as well. Women receive encouragement from words of praise, receiving gifts, helping out around the house, and just being able to spend time with their husband. It should be a goal as a man to do something encouraging for their significant other each day. Author Jack Hayford wrote, “I can always tell when a woman is loved by her husband because she gets more beautiful as she ages.” Isn't that a great thought, that your wives beauty can be enhanced simply from having a loving husband.
These acts of encouragement do not need to be elaborate or over the top. Simple gestures to show your appreciation for each other go a long way to strengthen the marriage arrangement. Start off today with a loving gesture and continue that trend tomorrow and the next day and watch the love in your marriage grow.
