Everyone has a deep hunger for appreciation and praise, including your spouse, so offer it freely. Don’t make your spouse beg for your gratitude and admiration. Give it willingly.
You may be saying, “But you don’t know my spouse … he/she is _______, and has done _______, and makes me feel like _______.
Even if all those things are true from your perspective, I encourage you to STILL find something that you can praise him/her for. Go for it, and see what a difference it makes in your marriage.
