Our words are building blocks on which others rise or fall. The next "question" for each partner to answer, is not really a question, but a chance to make a life-giving statement.
Name Two Things I Do Well.
When is the last time you heard your spouse say something positive about you? Last night, when he patiently helped your son with his spelling words, or when she finished painting the dresser, did you take it for granted and say nothing, or did you take the opportunity to build with words of affirmation?
What do you think your spouse would do , if you could identify a few of their talents or strengths of character or personality? And then if you chose to tell them.
All of us like to hear what we are doing well. We like to know someone notices. We take that block of encouragement , and then often add to it more blocks of effort and investment of our own. Start today to build others up by pointing out strengths and talents. You may be surprised at how tall the tower of encouragement can take your relationship!
