Biblically-Based Communication Tips for Couples

DAN 5 OD 5

Day 5: Encourage Each Other

The fifth communication tip is to encourage each other. It comes from 1 Thessalonians 5:11, which says, "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."

Has your partner ever had a difficult day where they felt sad or stressed? Encouragement can be a powerful force in relationships. When you cheer each other on, you help lift each other's spirits and show that you care. This support helps your partner feel valued and stronger.

Think about a time when someone encouraged you. Did it make you feel good and give you the confidence to keep going? You can do the same for your partner. For example, if your partner faces a challenge at work, you could say, “I know you can handle this. You are so smart and hardworking and come up with great solutions. Remember, I'm here for you, and I believe in you.” These simple words can mean a lot and help them feel more confident.

Encouraging each other is like being a team's biggest fan. It's important to offer support and positivity, especially when times are tough. When you build each other up, you contribute to each other's well-being and help each other grow. This, in turn, strengthens your relationship and brings you closer together.

Sometimes, it might be hard to find the right words to encourage your partner. But remember, even small acts of kindness can go a long way. A hug, a smile, or a kind note can also show your support and make your partner feel loved and appreciated.

Here’s a challenge for you: Every day, try to find at least one way to encourage your partner. It could be through words, actions, or even a small gift. Pay attention to what they might need and be there to support them. Over time, you’ll see how these acts of encouragement can make your relationship stronger and more joyful.

God wants us to encourage one another and build each other up. By encouraging and edifying our partner, we contribute to their well-being and growth and, in turn, strengthen the relationship. It's about being a source of light and inspiration to each other.
