Day 18: 30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge
"You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy...Happy are the people whose God is the LORD!" Ps. 16:11a; 144:15b
"A merry heart does good like medicine..." Prov. 17:22a

It's hard to criticize others when we are enjoying their company. Instead of speaking negatively to your husband today, enjoy him! Encourage him! As you experience fullness of joy with God, share some of that joy with your husband.
Does your husband have a playful side? A great sense of humor? Is there a "little boy" that wants to escape from time to time, reflecting the joy in his heart?
This is a wonderful part of who he is, and a great strength. Let him know that you appreciate his joyfulness and his playful spirit. Find opportunities to join him in positive play times.
This is so true. If we are busy searching for the good and happy, we will find it hard to spend much time finding fault. And the other effect of this is that when we are busy looking for the good and happy, we feel good and happy ourselves which in turns helps to promote a happy household.
Daniel often encourages me to do things that are fun. Either playing a game of darts in the yard, listening to some music, singing some Karaoke, or taking a boat ride. These are just some of the ways that he brings fun into our home.
bless him
Ive never really sang Karaoke
probably just as well for the people around me lol
This is one of my favorites, so far... yesterday was my husbands birthday and I just found myself loving him and really wanting to lift him up! Not just yesterday, but always. I guess it's never that I want to tear him down but, do you get what I am saying? I am having a tough time commenting these days! :(
