You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy . . . Happy are the people whose God is the LORD! (Ps. 16:11a; 144:15b)
A merry heart does good like medicine. (Prov. 17:22a)
It's hard to criticize others when we are enjoying their company. Instead of speaking negatively to your husband today, enjoy him! Encourage him! As you experience fullness of joy with God, share some of that joy with your husband.
Does your husband have a playful side? A great sense of humor? Is there a "little boy" that wants to escape from time to time, reflecting the joy in his heart?
This is a wonderful part of who he is, and a great strength. Let him know that you appreciate his joyfulness and his playful spirit. Find opportunities to join him in positive play times.
If your husband can sometimes be overly serious, coax him out occasionally for some play times. It will help him relieve stress and relax.
My husband is such a “little boy” and that is one thing I love about him. He knows how to have fun, and he is funny. And he’s learned that there is a time and a place for the fun and games. As I have too.
When we were dating, it was mostly long distance, so we would talk on the phone every night, and he was tell me a joke every night. I always looked forward to those jokes.
