A wife longs to be unconditionally loved and accepted by her husband.
As a husband, it is easy to take for granted that your wife already knows how much you love her—but sometimes she doesn't.
30 Ways a Husband Can Bless His Wife
is packed with 30 simple, fun, and affordable activities to show your wife that you love and appreciate her!
From fun date night ideas to taking care of her least-liked chore, easily turn these simple acts of kindness into powerful blessings that will positively impact your marriage for a lifetime! Using the illustration of Christ and his bride and other Bible passages as models, John Trent shares practical ways to bless your wife using the 5 Elements of the Blessing.
In every home, with every husband, there is a choice: a choice to bless his wife. A husband can choose to communicate that incredible gift of unconditional love and acceptance that his wife longs for...or he can actively or passively withhold the blessing from his wife, opening the door to loneliness and emotional hurt.
This easy-to-read book will help you demonstrate the message that God has for us all: wives in every home deserve to know that their husband and Jesus is crazy about them!
Make this truth a reality for your wife and give her the gift of the Blessing so she can be free to serve others, gain personal strength, and grow in God's purpose for her. Help your wife embrace the truth that with God's love, she can do and be more than she ever imagined.
Blessing others is a choice. Before turning to Jesus, author John Trent harbored resentment and hatred toward his alcoholic father for years. After he gave his life to Christ, John forgave his father and realized that he was given the same choice as his father: to bless or withhold blessing from his own family. Since then, John has shown millions of families how to break the cycle of rejection and bless one another.
What are the 5 Elements of the Blessing?
But what exactly does it mean to give a blessing? The Blessing as described in Scripture always included five elements:
Meaningful and appropriate touch
—holding hands or faithfully giving a goodnight kiss
A spoken message
—telling your wife how much she means to you or praising her for taking such good care of the kids
Attaching high value to the one being blessed
—speaking and affirming God's truth and value over your wife
Picturing a special future for him or her
—finding ways to encourage your wife's potential and envisioning the ways she can impact the world for Christ
An active commitment to fulfill the blessing
—learn to build a habit of consistently showing your wife how much she means to you
