Day 13: "Let me do that."
When your wife starts to do a household task tonight, step in. Without making a big deal of it, say, "Let me do that."
If you have children, consider calling them over to help as part of teaching them how to honor their mom/step-mom. This teaches your kids how to serve others in their home which is where servanthood should begin.
Coach's corner:
Out of the corner of your eye, observe your wife's reaction to your unexpected, helpful, action. If she's happy but matter-of-fact, that probably signals that she already sees you as someone who does this kind of thing. Which is great! If she acts really surprised, or even suspicious, that signals that perhaps you need to do this a bit more often. Which will be a great opportunity to be a hero to your wife.
The Kindness Challenge research revealed that hearing and saying words of gratitude is like an emotional paycheck to our soul and fuel for our happiness. It is also crucial to model for our kids. So make some deposits of kindness and fill up her happiness tank.
The 30-Day Kindness Challenge is brought to you via our partnership with Shaunti Feldhahn, and is based on her research for The Kindness Challenge.
