Men, learn to speak blessings over your wife and you will see that woman rise to a new level. She will respond to your praise and encouragement. Your words don't have to be poetic, fancy, or profound. Tell her simply but sincerely, You're a great mother to our children. And you are a great wife to me. I'm so glad I can always count on you.
