This Week's Giveaway: Kathi Lipp book set!!

Sep 10 2011

Full

We've all been there. Our darling husbands say something, do something, or sometimes just think something and we just LOSE IT! Your marriage should always be a project in the work. That's what sets apart the average marriages from the uber-fantastic ones!

And don't you want an uber-fantastic marriage?

I sure do! That's why I got Kathi on the phone the other day and grilled her left and right on what it takes to turn the man you love into the man you love even more. Do not miss this workshop! I'm serious! And if I were your husband, I would be telling you to stop whatever you're doing and listen to what Kathi has to say RIGHT NOW! 

But I'm not your husband.

That would be weird.

So, listen to this interview and leave a comment sharing one of your best tips on how to treat your man RIGHT, and you'll be entered to win a "KATHI PACK." That's right--not one, but TWO of Kathi's awesome books! I look forward to hearing from you!

Talk About It!

Over the weekend I was with a friend who kept complaining about her husband. Back in the days I would join her and agree how mine is also the same and how they'll never change. But after years of prayers and changing my additude towards him, I couldn't chime in with her. I often tell jim how much I need and appreciate him. And remind him of how valuable he is to our family. Because I do, he is now a very active parent and helps out more in the house. I love my man. THANK YOU GOD!!!!

My tip for treating the hubby right is...to show him lots of affection and consideration at all times. It's often easy to overlook or take for granted how hard they work but a little appreciation goes a LONG way! I think they really feel loved when we do little things to show we care..notes, favorite foods, clean house, phone calls or texts throughout the day etc..They like to know we think about them even when they are working away from the home.
So, my tips are not anything new but are the things we often forget to do as busy Moms.

I make it a point to plan a date night at least every other week so that my husband gets some alone time just with me. With four little ones running at our feet, he can feel neglected a lot of the time. Making the effort to plan some time for just us has made a WORLD of difference in our marriage!! Love Kathy Lipp...she is AWESOME!!!

Great stuff!!! Lots of good ideas for someone to think about as well. We have no children at home anymore so you just kind of get in a rut and when you realize it then it takes some doing to get out of there. Prayer has been my main goal.

I like to tell my husband how much I appreciate what he does everyday without complaining. He gets up super early and goes to work until who knows when and does it because of his love for his country but has kept on doing it because of his love for his family. I never want him to forget that I do not take that for granted and I truly appreciate what he does....

No nagging, no complaining, and no running around in frumpy dumpy sweatpants all day long. I always ask him how his day was and stick around to hear what he has to say, with little ones running around all over I used to ask him and then scurry away while he was still talking. How rude of me! Poor guy deserves better than that so I make sure to give him my full attention. Plus I smile and don't give him all the details of everything, I just let him know I got alot done and everything is going good.

When my hubby gets home from work, I give him time to change clothes and "transition" from work to home before slamming him with all of the craziness of my day with the kids...

One of my best tips is to give him a hug or a kiss just randomly in the day, when he least expects it. It reminds him that he is secial to me and that I love and appreciate him. He always responds with a smile, and maybe another hug or kiss.

This was exactly what I needed to hear! I'm a SAHM with 3 little kids and one on the way. I admit my outlook on my marriage has been pretty sad and pathetic lately with complaining and bitterness on my part. this talk helped me realize what I've known about my man all along HE IS THE BEST!...Thank you for bringing it back into focus for me!
The best tip I can give is if your husband has a goal or an interest, support him by accomplishing it with him side by side. For example, last January, my husband decided that this was the year to get fit. So he started working out every evening. I decided that I would do the same, so i worked out in our home every afternoon while the little ones napped. When he got home from work, I would let him know how my workout went, and that motivated him to do his workout that evening! it was awesome, we were both feeling great about ourselves, and our communication really opened up. so now, we are expecting our #4 due to arrive in Nov. :) I am so blessed!

Another great interview, thanks, Hannah! I missed you! :) I hope I win Kathy's books. One thing I try to do treat my man right is to speak his love language. His is physical touch--even the little touches as I walk past him in the kitchen is good. And, definitely a kiss when he walks through the door.

I echo what many others say...don't speak badly of your husband to anyone else. Phrase things in the most positive way possible when talking to others.

My tip for how to treat your man Right - Give him kisses like it's the first and last kiss, every time that you kiss! I heard this from a movie I watched and it has stuck with me!

I leave my husband little messages in his lunch box telling him how much I love him and will miss him during the day. I leave the phone calls for the last minute "please run to the store" calls.
