Wives' Love and Respect Checklist - Part 5

Ladies,

Remember C-H-A-I-R-S: How To Spell Respect To Your Husband

Conquest

Hierarchy

Authority

Insight

Relationship

Sexuality

This is the fifth checklist, Relationship, for showing your husband you respect him.

Your husband will feel you appreciate his shoulder-to-shoulder friend when:

-you tell him you like him and you show it (he knows you love him, but he often wonders if you really like him).

-you respond to his invitation to engage in recreational activities together or you come along to watch him (you don't have to go every time, but just now and then will energize him more than you realize).

-you enable him to open up and talk to you as you do things shoulder to shoulder.

-you encourage him to spend time alone, which energizes him to reconnect with you later.

-you don't denounce his shoulder-to-shoulder activities with his male friends to get him to spend more face-to-face time with you. Respect his friendships , and he will be more likely to want you to join him shoulder to shoulder at other times.

The shoulder-to-shoulder wife sees new meaning in "won without a word" (1 Peter 3:1)

God bless you and your family,

Marc
