Hello everyone. It’s a beautiful day to get outside and spend it with your wife! I wanted to remind husbands to keep striving for a healthy marriage.
Natalie and I are both intentionally thinking about one another throughout the day and how we can make “us” better. No matter what season of life we are in, we are evaluating the overall health of our marriage.
Men, you can pick up a lot of insight with this one question that I often ask my Natalie. “From a scale of 1-10, how are we doing as man and wife?”
The health of our marriage matters. It matters to our wife, our children, and to those around us we invest in.
I encourage you to go to your wife today and ask her where you stand. Are you guys at a 4 or are you in that sweet spot of a 7, 8, or 9? None of us will ever arrive to a perfect 10 everyday, but simply asking her shows that you care about the relationship.
Evaluate the communication you have with each other about your intimacy, the finances, his/her needs, the emotional connectedness, and overall health of your relationship. This isn’t a time to explain or blame. What you are asking is, “How can we make this better today than yesterday?”
Because women and men’s needs are so different, it’s vital that wives communicate her desires gently and with kindness.
Men really have no clue what his wife’s needs are unless he asks. God made us so differently, so embrace that.
Likewise, husbands need to open up about their needs and vocalize them to their wives. Learn how to progress together in oneness.
When mom and dad are at their best, they can move mountains at home.
