ENCOURAGE YOUR WIFE

HOW TO ENCOURAGE YOUR WIFE TO HAVE YOUR BACK

1. Have her back too. You are not the only one who needs help, she does too

2. Treat her right. Don't expect her to be there for yet you repeatedly hurt her

3. Tell her your plans. Involve her.  She won't force her way into your business 

4. Win with her. Make her a part of your success. She wants to play her part and contribute to progress too

5. Lose with her.  Let her be there for you in your losses as you both look for solutions 

6. Be faithful to her. No woman invests her all when she knows her place is not secure and you are entertaining another woman. Faithfulness motivates a woman to stand with you through thick and thin 

7. Pray with her. Tell her your prayer requests. Hold hands with her and pray

8. Tell her your struggles, don't pretend to be all strong or you have it all together. Be real. Be vulnerable. Open up. She can't read your mind 

9. Appreciate her when she is there for you. Don't make her feel that you take her for granted 

10. Make her proud in public, and she will love to cover you and walk with you in private 

11. Understand when she gets tired. She is not a robot. As she is there for you, she can get overwhelmed. She is not your slave but your life companion. Give her a break sometimes and tell her "It's OK". Pamper her.  Give her time to rejuvenate 

12. Evaluate progress with her. Take stock of how far you two have come and it will remind you how blessed you are to have a woman who loves you in your imperfections on your way to greater greatness
