It is not too late. Here are 3 tips to encourage your spouse today.

   1.     Say I Love You - You really cannot tell your spouse that you love them enough. Sometime we assume since we are married our spouse should know we love them. After all, we proposed and promised to spend the rest of our lives with them.  Don’t make assumption. Look into your spouse’s eyes and say I love you today.

   2.     Say You Proud - Sometime accomplishments go unnoticed. Tell your spouse you are proud of them. You do not have to wait for a special occasion. Tell him you are proud of him for being a great father. Tell her you are proud of her for providing for the family. Your words of appreciation may be the only source of encouragement.

   3.     Say Thank You - Thank you is such a simple expression. But it is not used enough in marriage. We take for granted the home cook meal, the car pool logistician, the in-home repair mechanic, etc. Yesterday is gone. You do not know what the future hold. Thank your spouse for the big, the little and the simple things.

Today is the day to encourage your spouse. Your encouragement will build your spouse and your marriage. Start today.
