Encouraging the man in your life

Here is a good piece from a blog I just recently discovered, Betty Beguiles, on encouraging your husband:

• Compliment him on his strengths and achievements and acknowledge his victories. 
• Create a peaceful atmosphere within our home. Make it a place that he can lay down his burdens and rest easy.
• Pray for him. Reread The Power of a Praying Wife.
• Write him love letters. Make sure he knows how absolutely swoon-worthy I find him to be.

 Read the rest.

While obviously advice for married couples, there is no reason why marriage hopefuls can't learn from it. Many of the things listed could apply to couples who are yet to be married. Encouraging and supporting the man in your life does not begin at marriage. It is a habit you continue in your married life.
