This is a series looking at the marriage advice given in Nancy Campbell’s book ‘How to Encourage Your Husband’.

While packing for a move I have turned up are books, terrible idiotic books filled with toxic advice. One of those books is by Nancy Campbell of Above Rubies ‘How to Encourage Your Husband’. I think I ended up with this book in the aftermath of leaving my old church, given to me by one of my former friends that thought it would ‘help’ my marriage since in her eyes my husband leaving our old church meant that I wasn’t doing my job of wife well enough. Reading through this book now I cannot help but laugh at some of the suggestions. The book is entirely written by commenters and comments from Nancy Campbell’s website.

Each week we’re going to look at a new nugget of marriage advice given by one of Nancy’s sycophants. Discuss.

I respect you!

When my husband came to me and told me I never built him up, I thought, “That’s impossible! I think those things all the time!” And I did; only I didn’t verbalize them. I decided to verbalize my thoughts, “I respect you so much for….” Or “God must be so pleased with you for your obedience to….” Of course, there are the little, seemingly silly things, “You are so strong!” Or, “You can fix anything.” Watch him grin when you say those things.

Are men so emotionally weak that they must be constantly reminded of how much we respect them?
