Husbands
How To Affair Proof/Divorce Proof Your Marriage

Dwell Together “be at home with”
a) Create together time. You must be intentional
b) show interest in what she does
c) help her with “her work” occasionally without being asked
d) look for and make home repairs without complaining
e) “observe” your wife and look for ways to assist her
f) look for evidence of stress in your wife (find out what really bothers her)
g) pray together
h) study a book together on Christian Living or Marriage Building
i) marriage unity and harmony is primarily the husband’s responsibility

Know Your Wife “according to knowledge”
a) Requires a keen observation and communication of unique aspects of your relationship
b) Fears/phobias what really stresses her? What does she worry about? What is the one thing that she would change about herself if she could? What is her greatest disappointment?
c) Dreams & Goals What are her secret dreams? What is her passion? Does she have some goal or dream that was sidelined by the kids or your career?
d) Spiritual Knowledge Do you know all of the details of her salvation experience? Who led her to the Lord? Where is she now in her spiritual growth? What is her chief weakness and what are you doing to help her overcome it? What is her chief strength and what are you doing to encourage it?

In what ways have you honored your wife in the past. I think it's a great time to share a few ideas (remember, mother's day is Sunday). Post a comment with your info!
