I am a Gladiator . . . my wife said so!
Monday, February 23, 2009 at 8:17AM Hey ladies, as I promised, I will give you some ideas on how to bless your husband and show him, very tangibly, that you respect him in your home. And these did not come from me, they came from ladies in our married small group, except I took some liberties to expound on number 1. As usual, I have more to say on this subject, but will post it later as I have a 9 am appointment.
1. Go towards him and initiate a sexual encounter with him, and do it often, when he is not expecting it. This is number one, not just because he loves sex (though he does), but this is the ultimate way to communicate to him at the deepest level that you really desire him. And since he is a guy, you don't even need to take him out to dinner or put a bunch of time and energy in romance beforehand. Is that bad - it is true. Just spontaneously initiate with him, guys need this initiation from their wives.
2. Verbally affirm your respect for him by complementing him in ways he would want to hear it, not ways you would say it to another lady. (e.g. I really appreciate your hard work to provide for us, I really appreciate your care for me, etc.)
3. Resist the temptation to give him instructions on things he already knows how to do, this feels like mothering to him.
4. Brag on your husband in the presence of others, including your kids.
5. Offer and show interest in their interests and do some of those things with them. Men like to play so go and play with them, whether it is golf, fishing, biking, whatever.
