I was thinking about thanksgiving day and I came up with an Idea.
Some of us will be at other peoples homes or have our homes filled with people.I had the idea that this is a good time to brag about our husbands to others infront of him. Yes, brag on him, praise him. It is soo fun and does huge things to his self image. You would not believe how much it means for a man to hear his wife boasting about him like he would a new car. There is nothing a man cannot accomplish if he believes his wife believes in him.
I know he may not return the praise and thats ok for today. Just let it be a time where your giving him the gift of encouragement.
Are you sitting there thinking...What is the world would I say? Well here is some ideas you can use and revamp to fit your man. We will use the name Sneed, because I am fairly sure I do not have a Sneed reader or married to a reader.
Sneed has been working so hard for our family. It means so much to me that he is willing to do that.
Sneed puts in hours of over time for us to have nice things.
Sneed is such a great Dad he is always willing to ________________.
Sneed knows so much about _______________ I am amazed.
Sneed still makes me take a second look when I see him.
Sneed makes me laugh all the time. Its so nice to have laughter in your life.
Now remember dont start the praise with a qualifier, "Sneed isn't a very good cook but he sure tries". Not quite it!
Dont say "Sneed tries to be a good Dad". That seems empty.
Don't use scarcasm, say it plainly.
Do it several times over a visit and watch your mans chest puff up bigger then the Turkey on table. If you happen to see me, do it infront of me, it will surely make me smile. Let me know how it goes!!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving, I want to thank you all for the secret inbox messages and the opportunity to help many of you with little problems you have had and insights you have shared with me. I am enjoying writing the blog.
