It's interesting - when I step out on the deck in the early morning, the horses come to the fence. Why?
They expect something good from me.
What do I do?
I feed them carrots, pet and pat them, and praise them softly.
Those actions aren't over-the-top, amazing and outstanding... they're just ways I show the horses how much I like them.
That's what encouraging is about - it's taking action to give your spouse good things.
- new ideas to "chew" on when confronted with challenges
- a comforting or soothing touch to show your love
- and words of praise for their good qualities
When your spouse sees you first thing in the morning, do they anticipate something good?
