What can I do to make him smile?
Just be nice...sometimes I find myself being nice to other people so much more readily than to my husband. That first smile just to say hello to someone as a friendly greeting. I have really been paying attention to this since beginning this study. I need to greet him with a friendly smile.
Let him sleep in on Saturday mornings....he leaves the house every day around 6:30, so I try to let him sleep in on Saturdays.
Make it possible for him to hang out with friends to watch a game or movie....
Save money....
clear out the clutter....
He is more of a physical touch person which is funny to me for a big guy but learning that over the years I can make him smile by trying to remember to touch his hand in the car or rub his back. Those simple touches mean a lot to him. I often don't do it for being tired or rushing from one child to the next but I know he really notices.....
I really liked the part in the book about JOY....focusing back on the little things in our day that can bring us joy.....read a book with the kids, play a game, make something, dance, sing, read the Bible. Turn off the TV and the computer!!! We often focus on the negative aspects of what we are doing....finding joy in the things we have to do anyway is a great example for our children and our spouse.
"These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full." John 15:11
