Needless to say, by time we talked he was quite down and worn out. So the best thing I could do, given we are again in two different locations, was to provide a comforting ear, moral support and words of encouragement by looking for the good in the situation. I asked him, "What was good about the day?" I could tell as he answered this question his spirits began to rise and we began to discuss that with all the horrible events of the day, he was able to recoup the furnaces which was truly a blessing. As we continued the conversation, his focus was no longer on the mishaps of the day, but was on what went well and how he was intending to spend the remainder of the day. So today, I am blessed to have been able to honor my husband by providing a comfort and helping him get to a better place after a quite challenging day.
Wives of the world, how do you honor your husband with comfort when he has had a rough day? Do you provide the comfort he needs to help him get to a better place or do you add salt to an open wound? Please share your examples of honoring your husband with comfort.
Blessings,
Rochelle

Today my husband came home from work and I ask him how was his day and he said it was a Great Day he had gotten a good respond from a guess, and so I comforted him by saying he is very good at what he does and some people do see that may not always be the person we want to see but a little good words go along way.
That is so true, it is amazing at how sometimes the smallest thing we say, can also be the smartest thing we say to make a world of difference in our spouse's day. Thanks
