One Thing to Grow Your Marriage Each DayVoorbeeld

Say it when you think it 

Devotional Content: 

How often do you praise your spouse? We may often think a good thought about someone but never end up sharing it with them—not that we keep it to ourselves on purpose; we simply let the moment pass. The other day Nancy was talking on the phone, and as I eavesdropped a little, I was so impressed with how she was handling what seemed to be a very difficult situation. I thought that when she finished, I would tell her how proud I was of her—but I completely forgot. I’m quite good at telling her I think she looks pretty, but that comes rather easy for most guys since we so readily respond to anything visual. When it comes to praising her for her character, words, or actions, I need to learn to say it when I think it. When people tell me something positive they observed about Nancy, it makes me proud. I need to remember to pass on to her what I was told. The point is that we need to verbally communicate those good things to our spouse. It is really good for both of us. It shows them we care enough to say it, and it reminds us that our spouse is very special.
