Husband Encouragement Challenge

A few posts ago, I mentioned the 30-day challenges from Revive Our Hearts ministry. I mentioned that I participated in the 30-day Husband Encouragement Challenge last year but neglected to tell what it was about. The premise of the challenge is that for the next 30 days (after you start the challenge) you can't say anything negative about your husband, to your husband, or to anyone else about your husband. Ladies, I think even in the best of marriages, we could all agree, that is a challenge. The fine people at Revive Our Hearts took this challenge a step further and provided material that gives an extra challenge each day (Example: Day 1: Identify a way that your husband is serving you or your family. Let him know that you see his unique service as a great strength.) They also provide supporting ideas and Scripture readings. If you would like to check it out, click here. There is a free download available to help you get started. I highly recommend it.

Tip: I printed out the challenge and pasted it into a notebook (each day with its own page). This helped me concentrate on it, keep it all in one spot, and give it the daily attention it required.
