Discover the joy of helping your spouse succeed.
"Three simple questions to help your spouse succeed:
- What can I do to help you?
- How can I make you life easier?
- How can I be a better husband (wife)?"
Notice the way these questions are worded. They are not meant to be asked in your mind, to ponder on your own, but rather you need to actually ask them of your spouse and be willing to act on the answer they give you.
My husband and I have a weekly "check-in" with each other (and our family) to see what's on the calender, to go over personal goals if any, and to discuss our 'family or personal business' basically meaning anything we'd like to talk to the family about. This is prime time for us to be active in asking what we can do to help each other (and sometimes we've even now discovered specifics, for example if I have a meeting with a client or he has talk in church he's preparing for).
