How Can I Inspire Thee? Here are Just a Few Ways... Wives to Husbands, Part 1


 Boaz Ministries




A wife has the unique ability to help her husband to feel the freedom to reach his fullest potential as the man God created him to be. As we’ve interacted with couples in small groups, couple-to-couple, and one-on-one, we’ve been able to compile helpful lists of practical ways spouses may bless and inspire one another. Below are just a few of the 50 practical tips that wives say they are using, with success! We are sure you have some great suggestions of your own, and we welcome the sharing!

*Discover his “love language,” and become fluent in it.

*Be a student of your husband. Does he feel inspired if he has all his ducks in a row? If he has a creative space to think? If he feels verbally affirmed?

*Consistently mention ways you see him growing to be more like Christ.

*Initiate great sex.

*Ban yourself from nagging, which is the Great Life-Sucker.

*Ask God to open your eyes to the ways He has made your husband unique, and to give you wisdom about how to maximize that workmanship.

*Pray about and pursue at least one dream of your own, talking with him about it. An inspired wife breeds inspiration.

*Give him a book or audio CD to learn about something he loves doing.

*Make sure he feels respected by you.

*Ask him about some dreams he has—and pray about them together, evaluating them. Then ask how you can help him go after them.

*Text him on a stressful day. Example: “REMINDER: I BELIEVE IN U.”
