I’m a single lady so I can’t add to your list but I think it is wonderful that you work to ensure your marriage is strong and solid while helping others to do the same.
Thanks for stopping by, Mary – I appreciate your words of affirmation very much. Blessings to you.
Given me the confidence to try new things ????

Thank you for stopping in, Kathy!
well for me it’s God since i’m single – but otherwise it would be the spouse, no? 😀
So true, Andi! And it’s God for all of us – fortunately.
Love your ideas! The list of all the benefits of encouraging your spouse is well done. Visiting you from Theocentric Thursdays
Thanks, Mary! Great to meet you.
Encouragement
– tells your spouse you are on the same team
– believes for him/her when he/she cant believe for him/herself
– tells them they are not alone
– gives strength
– knits you together
– lifts his/her shield of faith
– points to tomorrow
– stands against discouragement
– carries him/her when he/she is weak
– points him/her to God
