Day 8- 30 Day Husband Encouragement Challenge



How are you doing with the "30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge"? In case you've forgotten, here's the challenge:
* You can't say anything negative about your husband . . . to your husband, or to anyone else.* Say something that you admire or appreciate about your husband . . . to your husband and to someone else.
"But who can find a faithful man?" (Proverbs 20:6b)
Faithfulness is a wonderful but rare quality today, especially in regard to marriage. Do you understand how important this quality is? Your challenge is to continue to root out all negative speaking, and plant seeds of encouragement instead. You may be amazed at what will grow.
Contemporary culture often entices men to be unfaithful to their wedding vows and spiritual commitments. Appreciate your husband's faithfulness--how he is loyal to you. Let him know that you are glad he has "stick-to-it-iveness" in your marriage. Appreciate his faithfulness to God.
If you have an unfaithful husband, this is a difficult area for you. Pray, speak the truth in love, remain faithful yourself, and discover ways to encourage faithfulness in your mate. The Bible says that husbands may "be won by the conduct of their wives" (1 Peter 3:1b). You may also want to seek counsel from a mature, godly individual or couple.: I am very blessed to have a husband that is faithful to me, and to God. I can honestly say that I know for a fact that Eddies heart belongs 100 percent to me, and God. My Eddie, will never roam, he will always stay home, in my heart.
