Encouraging your Husband

I heard one of my friends say recently that she just thought her cheerleading days were over!  She was referring to the important role we play as encouragers in our husbands lives.  We should be our husband’s biggest supporter.  Here a few ideas of simple, inexpensive things I have tried to encourage Hal.  

52 Reasons I love you.: I totally stole this one off of Pinterest. :)   The picture I saw took a deck of cards, hole punched them, and wrote a note on each card.  I took the easy way out and just put them back in the box.  I filled the cards with my favorite parts of his character, things that we do together, things that he does for me, etc.  He loved them! :)

Suit case notes: Keep notecards on hand and write him a note and seal the envelope.  Put a note for every day he is out of town in his suitcase.

Happy Calls: Some days I feel like all I do is complain about how fussy B was or how many times I had to discipline D.  Lately I have been trying to call him during the middle of the day and tell him what a great day I am having with the kids.  Sometimes I just call and tell him thank you for letting me stay home and take care of them.

Text It: On days that I know are going to be challenging for him, I text him scripture during the day.

Sometimes I do better than others at remembering to do these little things.  Putting this post together was a great reminder.  Maybe I will put a reminder on my calendar every week or so.  Now, if I can just remember to do that! 

What are some things you have done to encourage your husband?
