Wonderful! Wonderful as usual!
There is a great book out called "Love and Respect". I know I've touted that book before, but its that good!
In it, he says that the most primary need a man has is to be respected. He needs other things, too, but the highest on the list is respect. If he has respect, he can survive without love. (us women have a hard time believing that, but if you think about it, its true) Start giving him the respect he needs (even if he doesnt DESERVE it, give it to him because of his position, your husband) and you will see amazing changes in your man.
I know my man has alot of work to be done, but there is some good stuff happening because of the above.
My brother in law, that passed away a couple of years ago, made the comment to me that he never hears me say anything negative about his brother. I told him that wasnt always the case, but I had learned.
A good step is learning to control your tongue, not just in front of him, but to other people, whether he is around, or not. To always say good things about your husband to other people. That is one way to build him up.
Now, there is a time to vent. When you need to get things off your chest and get a different perspective on things. But that is not to say to go around telling everybody all about it, all the time. Find one good person that you can trust to not only keep their mouth shut, but to not think less of him when you air out your dirty laundry. That can be the tough part.
My best friend for this is Jesus. He lets me vent all I need to, then He shows me a different perspective on the situation and it changes. Amazing how that works!
Goodness! I am quite the Chatty Cathy this morning!
Blessings!
