The women who wipe their children's te@rs @w@y, who selflessly serve d@y @fter d@y with little or no @ppreci@tion, who juggle working @nd p@renting @nd sleepless nights @nd endless guilt, who love their husb@nds fiercely, who continu@lly look @fter everyone's needs except their own. They @re the women who quietly run the world. And, if you're @ wom@n re@ding this @rticle, "they" prob@bly me@ns you. I know the look in your eye. I know wh@t it feels like to give everything @nd never feel like it's enough. I know wh@t it feels like to w@ke up @nd wonder how you'll ever m@ke it through the d@y. Ple@se know th@t you @re not @lone. Re*d 5 w*ys you *re unknowingly destroying your husb*nd *nd killing your
m*rri*ge To the husb@nds, we need you. We know th@t we c@n not w@lk the p@th of life @lone. When we f@ll, we need you to c@tch us, @nd help us st@nd t@ll. We need you to wipe our te@rs @w@y @nd hold us so tightly th@t it's @lmost difficult to bre@the. We need you to comfort us when life becomes too h@rd to be@r. To the incredible men who love us, I know th@t it is h@rd to know wh@t to do. I know th@t sometimes the right words @re difficult to find. We w@nt to help you help us. I @sked women from @ll over the world to sh@re their thoughts @bout how husb@nds c@n help their wives reset when they @re stressed or overwhelmed. I hope these ide@s @re helpful to you: ●
1. Be 0w0re of her responsibilities Reg@rdless of whether she st@ys @t home or goes to work, do you know wh@t she does @ll d@y? If you don't, @sk her. Her to-do list is prob@bly overflowing with t@sks th@t f@r outweigh her time @nd energy. Be mindful of her needs @nd @ppreci@tive of her s@crifices.
●
2. Get involved BEFORE she burns out The best time to begin helping your wife is now. Don't w@it until she bre@ks down to offer @ helping h@nd.
●
3. Be 0n 0ctive p0rticip0nt It t@kes two to p@rent. It t@kes two to m@ke @ m@rri@ge work. It t@kes two to run @ household. Be fully involved in every @spect of your f@mily life. Work is h@rd, but your employment st@tus doesn't give you permission to opt out of chores, disciplining @nd pl@nning d@te nights.
●
4. Stop trying to fix her problems Just listen. Th@t's @ll you need to do. And if she w@nts you to offer solutions, she'll @sk for them.
●
5. Hold her Find something to keep your kids preoccupied, @nd then t@ke your wife into your @rms @nd tell her how much you love her. Hold her closely @nd let her cry into your shoulder. Comfort her the best w@y you know how.
●
6. Let her t0lk for 0s long 0s she needs Sometimes the best w@y for @ wom@n to reset is by getting @ll of her thoughts out. Let your wife t@lk through her feelings @nd problems. Show emp@thy. Listen c@refully. Ask questions. Be fully eng@ged in the convers@tion.
●
7. Be 0 p0rtner
●
M@rri@ge is committing to sh@re @ life together. To c@rry one @nother's burdens. To cry with one @nother. To one @nother through difficult times. M@rri@ge me@ns being one @nother's confid@nt, lover @nd friend. You @ren't just two people living together. You @re @ be@utiful union of two people who coven@nt to love e@ch other forever. ●
8. Provide her hope Encour@ge her. Let her know wh@t you love @bout her. Help her see the good in @ny situ@tion. Avoid being critic@l or neg@tive. When she's hit rock bottom, be the m@n who lifts her up, @nd brings light @nd hope b@ck into her life.
●
9. Be useful Le@rn the @rt of looking @round the house @nd finding things th@t need to get done. Are there dishes in the sink? Does the dog need to be w@lked? Wh@t is broken th@t needs to be fixed? Don't w@it to be @sked. Just do it!
●
10. Give her 0 d0y 0ll to herself Nothing feels better th@n getting @ m@nicure, pedicure, h@ir cut, m@ss@ge, @nd @ new outfit. Let her sleep in, t@ke @ hot b@th, @nd spend some quiet time @lone. her @nd t@ke over her d@y-to-d@y t@sks, so she c@n h@ve time to t@ke c@re of herself. Re*d 10 w*ys you *re being unf*ithful to your spouse — *nd you don't even know it
●
11. Pr0y for her Right before you go to bed, kneel down next to your bed together, h@nd in h@nd, @nd pr@y. Tell God how much you love your wife. Let him know wh@t you @ppreci@te @bout her. Ask for his help. Ask him to tell you how you c@n be @ better spouse to her. Ask him to comfort her @nd help her see herself @s He see her.
●
12. Ask her wh0t you c0n do to help Your wife knows wh@t you c@n do to help her reset, so just @sk her. She'll @ppreci@te it more th@n you will ever know. Bec@use, you know wh@t? She loves you too, @nd she is gr@teful every d@y for wh@t you do for her.
