5 Ways To Uplift Your Husband

February is the month of love and with Valentine’s Day right around the corner we begin to think of ways to show our love to our husbands. 

We can easily give him a gift that expresses our love.  We can find just the right gift that we know would be perfect.  We can even picture the look on his face when he opens that perfect gift, and we become filled with excitement.  

Exchanging gifts with our husbands and exchanging tokens of our affection are fine, but they are just one small way that we can show our love.  This is just a part of how we can bring love and joy to the man we love.  

I have learned in my four years of marriage that my actions towards my husband were very important.  I have the ability to change the whole situation just based on how I speak and act, or maybe I should say react, towards my husband. 

Once I learned this lesson, I also began to realize that by my actions and words I had the ability to either discourage and bring down my husband or encourage and uplift him.  The choice was mine.  

So without a doubt I chose to uplift him.  As his wife I know that God has put a calling on  my life to be his partner and always encourage and uplift him. Think about it. Husbands have a lot of pressures and responsibilities on their shoulders and home should be the one place they know they can get the encouragement that they need.  Plus if we don’t do it who else will?

Now trust me this is not always an easy thing to do, especially when life get’s the best of me, but all it takes is a conscious effort on my part. 

I know the results are definitely worth it, and my husband is more than worth it. 

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. Proverbs 31:10-12

5 Ways To Uplift Your Husband

1. Make him a priority-After God we are called to put him first. That even means before the children, which as mothers sometimes we forget to do. 

2. Laugh at his jokes-This is a way to show him that he is important. It reminds him that he has a great sense of humor, and that you love it. 

3. Compliment him-On any and everything. The more you do this the better. Even if it is on the simplest or smallest thing. Ex: " You know I was thinking about it, and I really like how you always take the garbage out before it gets too full. That is really helpful."(of course only say this if he is actually doing it, otherwise it could come across as being sarcastic.) 

We have to remember to compliment and praise our husbands for doing the everyday little things as well, it can often be taken for granted. 

4. Flirt-Didn't we do this when we first met? So why not do it now? Let's remind our husbands why they fell in love in the first place. Don't let the everyday business get in the way. Even if this is not an area you are strong in there are millions of ways you can show your hubby some affection that would be comfortable to you. Sometimes you just need to get creative and think outside the box for the ideas, and if worst comes to worst you can always just Google it.

5. Respect him-This is SO important to husbands. They want to feel that you have their backs. This is also a way they feel they can trust you. Your husband wants to know when he makes a decision you will support it, and you won't go and bad mouth him to your girlfriends. We can show our husbands respect in all that we do and say, and this is the main way he will feel your love.

These are just a few of many ways you can uplift your husband. I'm sure you could add more to the list.
