It's About Respect, Baby!

Ladies, this one's for you! You know how near and dear to my heart marriages are ... they take work, sacrifice and commitment. And, I think, sometimes we have to behave in ways that don't necessarily come naturally, if we want to be sure our spouse knows he is loved and respected.

This can be really hard, but you can train yourself to be a better partner for your husband!

Among other things, this means letting him make decisions and respecting the decisions he makes. And refraining from going around "fixing" what he didn't do right with the kids. (EEK! I know!)

Look him in the eye when he speaks to you. Stop what you are doing. Give him your attention. Show him your respect and that he is important.

You wouldn't believe how much this can help. Sometimes we get so swept up in the tasks with the kids that we let these things common courtesies slip with our spouse.

Here's a little inspiration from a book I would highly recommend! I hope it helps!

Happy Friday!
