And the LORD God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” (Gen. 2:18)
God says that it is not good for man to be alone. But the way some women criticize their mates, the husbands may long for solitude. Be careful today not to criticize your mate, but look for ways to encourage him personally and publicly.
Speaking of communication, does your husband communicate with you? God has made you a companion and helper for your husband, and part of being "one flesh" with him is the privilege of sharing and discussing personal needs and concerns. Thank God for that wonderful gift. Thank your husband for communicating with you.
If your spouse does not communicate as you wish, look for ways that he communicates that are normal for him: smiling at you, nodding his head, even a pleasant grunt, and then thank him for letting you know that he cares. Perhaps he needs to be lovingly taught how to communicate. Be patient with him . . . and listen when he does speak.
We communicate fairly well now that he’s deployed. We talk almost daily, and he lets me know things he wants me to send to him, or not send to him. We talk about the bills and how we want to save the money, and lately things haven’t been a fight. It’s been nice. I enjoy talking to him about these things when we don’t fight.
He is also very affectionate when he’s not deployed. He always tells me he loves me, and shows me he loves me by kisses, holding my hand and hugs. I do miss those SO much!
