Day 4-30 Day Husband Encouragement Challenge


"Let him labor, working with his hands what is good . . ." (Ephesians 4:28b)
We are all accountable for the things we say, both negative and positive words. Have you embraced the challenge to speak only positive things to your husband and to others about him? Here's a suggestion that touches the core of your husband's world.
Some women take their husband's career for granted, and they show it in many ways. Do you "dump" on your husband at the end of the workday, or do you strengthen and encourage him with your words? A wise wife will make her husband feel that she values and appreciates his work. Let him know that you are glad he is a hard worker. Take opportunities to praise his diligence and resourcefulness to others.
If your husband is out of work, unable to work, or refuses to work, you'll need to be more creative. Praise him for a character quality that you see in him that would be a vital part of a successful career - such as persistence, decisiveness, strength, an analytical mind, organizational skills, good with people, good listener, determination, etc.:Eddie is such a hard worker, and very dependable. He always wins safety awards, and perfect attendance awards at his job. I am very proud of the type of work ethics he displays.

I have to say that I do encourage my husband, but more show more respect in what he does.
I think it is good to talk positive about our beloved in front of others.
