1.
Ask your husband, "What are your goals for the week?"
2.
Ask your husband, "How can I help you to accomplish these goals?'
3.
Ask your husband, "Is there anything that I can do differently that would make
it easier for you?"
4. Be organised with cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, and cooking. As you
fulfill your God-given responsibilities, your husband is then free to do his work.
5. Save some of
your energy every day for him.
6.
Put him first over the children, your parents, friends, home business, ladies'
Bible studies, etc.
7.
Willingly and cheerfully rearrange your schedule for him when necessary.
8.
Talk about him in a positive light to others. Do not slander him at all, even
if what you are saying is true.
9.
Do whatever you can to help him accomplish his goals. Some examples are offer
to run errands for him, organise your day to be available to help him with his
projects, pray for him and make good suggestions. Give him the freedom not to
use your suggestion, and do not be offended if he does not follow it.
10.
Consider his work (job, goals, hobbies, work for the Lord) as more important than
your own.
11. Think
of specific ways that you can help him accomplish his goals. Examples are get
up early in the mornings to help him get off to work having had a good breakfast,
take care in recording telephone messages for him, anticipate any needs he may
have in order to attain a specific goal, and keep careful records of money spent
to keep up with the budget.
12.
Consider the things that you are involved in. How do they glorify your husband?
Ask his guidance.
13.
Be warm and gracious to his family and friends. Make your commitment to him obvious
to them.
14. Do
and say things that build him up instead of tear him down.
15.
Dress in a neat and modest manner that is pleasing to your husband.
16.
When your husband sins, admonish him privately and gently, always in a submissive
manner, giving him hope and pointing him to the Lord.
17.
Encourage him to use his spiritual gifts in ministry.
18.
Realise that just as God is glorified when man obeys Him, your husband is glorified
when you obey your husband.
