2. Be your spouses #1 encourager.
Over the years, Dave and I have talked with many couples who are struggling in their marriages simply because of hurtful communication or a lack thereof. It is amazing how Dave’s affirming words can lift my spirits and help me to know that we are in a good place. I can see a huge improvement in Dave’s demeanor when I greet him with a smile and an encouraging word, even when he has had a rough day. We have the power to make each other feel adored and respected simply by our choice of words, and I am thankful that Dave chooses to encourage me time and time again (Romans 15:5).
