- Ask about his job. Listen to his joys and struggles at work. Thank him for working so hard for your family.
- Invite some of his co-workers over for lunch. Get to know some of the people with whom your husband spends his day.
- Attend company gatherings with him.
- Ask your spouse about his dreams. What would he like to do? Where would he like to travel?
- Offer to run an errand for your husband.
- Send him encouraging texts throughout the day
- Talk positively about him to others.
- Don’t interrupt him.
- Give him time to think. Don’t expect an instant answer.
- Talk over your family schedule with him.
- Work as a team to guide and discipline your kids. Keep a “team front” in front of your kids, and talk to your husband in private if you disagree.
- Pray for him.
- Give him time to wind down after work.
