For the past few weeks we have been looking into the Mind of the Good Man. Catch up with Part One and Part Two. Part Three involves praise and gratitude,
'Good Job and Thank you!'
I admit, I often fail in this regard. I am all too often worried about praising my kids and showing gratitude for any of their small efforts that I can often forget to praise and say ‘thank you’ to my spouse. If your good man has a job, then he works hard, guaranteed. It’s in their DNA to want to succeed. If he succeeds in any accomplishment, praise him, as you would anyone else who overcame a difficult situation, as you would expect him to do for you. If he helps you around the house, don’t micromanage him, let go of the need for control and let him do it his way – and get this; just say ‘thanks’. In the end, he’ll see he’s needed and appreciated, which is so much more important than if he cleaned the bathroom just to your preference.
This is really a more simple concept. We ALL want to feel we've done well, as well as appreciated for our efforts. Men are no different. They need that pat on the back and our thanks just as much as we do.
The worst habit many wives find themselves in is the complaining about our good man, especially to other women. It sets ourselves up for disappointment next time we see him. Tell your friends, you’ve got one good man, and when you get home, you’ll see in him That. Good. Man.
Job Three: Stop nagging him and complaining. If you need help with something, ask him once. If he doesn’t do it, ask again or leave it. It’s more important that he sees he’s needed. It’s also important that he sees you are content. Complaints irritate everyone! Lastly, say ‘thank you’ a lot more…..like ten times more a day. Trust me, it goes a long way with a good man.
