Day 28: How does he make you happy?
You've heard guys are performance-oriented, right? That mainly means they are focused on trying to do things that matter – and most husbands truly are focused on trying to do things that will make their wives happy. Be on the lookout for something your husband says or does that you can tell (once you're looking for it) is his effort to try to make you happy. Then, be sure to acknowledge it. ("It made me so happy when I saw you helping Jonas with his homework, and not getting frustrated even though he was. I love how you handle our kids.") Remember to log this in your journal if you are giving one as a gift.
Coach's Corner:
In our surveys, 88% of men said it deeply pleases a man when his wife makes it clear to him that he makes her happy (a big smile, words, a hug, etc.). Be especially intentional about it if you are feeling stressed. Imagine how futile he feels about his efforts to make you happy if your stress level prevents you from smiling and showing any real happiness. If he makes you happy, show it! Seeing your happy face is a treasured reward to him.
