I shared with him that he has done many of great deeds and this is his time for the Law of Reciprocity. I shared I believed in my heart he would get it back with everything in order. When I awoke this morning I had received a text from him stating someone had found his wallet and everything was intact. This was of no surprise to me, because I know the God we serve.
How do you encourage your husband when he loses something of value of yours? Do you help lift him up or do you push him further down? As women, we often forget, our men have feelings too. They may not always display them or share them through words, but know they are there. As wives we have the power to take our husband to another level emotionally. The challenge is which level. Honor your husband today by encouraging him emotionally. Find something that you would not normally acknowledge and tell him how much you notice and appreciate him for it. It will make his day. Please share how you encouraged your husband.

Wow! Excellent story and example you shared, Rochelle about honoring your husband when he looses something. Very nice. I can only honestly say that I HOPE that I would be that caring and warm and accommodating with my husband. I really have to check myself to see if I would have done the same thing. But again....thanks for the example.
Switching gears....I really need to hear from you and other wives about honoring their husbands...in spite of. I'm pissed at my husband right about now. I'm NOT EVEN thinking about honoring him, although I know I should! So...my "issue" is - how do you honor your husband when every limb in your body DOES NOT WANT TO!!!!! Thanks, Deana
Dear Deana,
Thank you so much for your question. How do you honor your husband when every limb in your body DOES NOT WANT TO!!!!!? I can tell you it can be quite a challenge and can often feel like going through the motions when our actions are not authentic.
When I find myself in a place where I am frustrated with my husband. one of the first things I do is ask myself the question, "What is going on with me?" and/or "Why and I feeling this way?" I journal a lot so I typically write down what I am feeling and why? Once I am very clear on my feelings and why, I honor my husband by sharing my true feelings with him.
I once heard a sermon by Dr. Tony Evans where he spoke about honoring your mate. In his sermon he mentioned the best way to develop a higher degree of marital initmacy is by sharing our true feelings with our spouse directly and not with someone else. By sharing our true feelings it allows us to free up and release emtional energy. Freeing up our emotional energy allows us to be in a place to honor our marriage, ourselves and our mate. So you know, before I can honor my husband, I really have to honor myself.
Wives of world, we would love to hear your perspective.

My husband came home from work drained from the job so I made him a nice dinner and we talked I cannot say I encourage him in anyway but it was good evening.
Sometimes a full stomach is the best form of encouragement to go about lifes duties. It is not always the major things, but the simple things that makes the greatest difference for our husbands. Rochelle
