I really needed to learn how to cherish my husband this week. I thought that what I was doing was enough. I know that I appreciate all of the work he has put in these past few months. He has started a business and he takes care of most of the things at home because of my pregnancy. I thought that he knew how much his efforts and accomplishments meant to me. 
Then we took a quiz...
I answered all but one question as true, I felt great about our marriage. Then I turned to my husband and asked how many Truths he got.. He had to count. Count! I was shocked, he was a little embarrassed as well when I told him my score. I convinced him we should talk about the answers, and how grateful I was that we did. 
I knew I was a little more naggy because of my lack of bending over ability. There is not much I can accomplish on my own, but he was feeling overwhelmed. I realized that I had not said a simple thank you in a long time. I expected him to take on all of the extra work and do so happily and willing. Which he did mind you, but I, I needed to show him appreciation and actually thank him. What a novelty, right? 
So often we take our spouses for granted. I spent all week changing my attitude towards my husbands attitude. If he was stressed I tried to find out why and instead of becoming annoyed I would help him, or if that wasn't possible just give him words of encouragement. 
We can not be the ones to tear down our spouses instead we need to be the ones to build them up and remind them the impact they make in our lives.
