Action #1: Celebrate her achievements publicly.
This doesn’t mean you have to shout from the rooftops. Then again, social media has given us virtual rooftops to shout from. This can be as simple as posting a photo of her garden or her 5K race, with a few words about how resourceful and determined she is.
I heard of one husband’s post of his wife holding a first-day-of-school sign, only hers said: “First day of graduate school.” His caption was a dizzying string of emojis: I don’t remember all of them, but I know the heart, first bump, and flexed-muscle emojis were in the mix.
If your wife recently started a business or got promoted at work, take her out to dinner to toast to her accomplishment. When you’re with family or friends, make it a natural part of conversation to celebrate your wife. Just think of simple comments that honor who she is.
