What is the greatest need in your spouses life right now?  Thus starts the dare for today... While thinking about this I realized that the greatest need in my husbands life is not really physical.  He needs me to be an encouragement to him.  He needs me to be his biggest cheerleader.  How many times has he been excited to share something with me and I have ignored him or ho-hum-ed while I listened thinking about all the other things I have to get done.  How often has he tried to tell me he just wants me to listen and I try to jump in an give an answer before I have even heard the entire problem!  My husband needs me emotionally as well as physically.  Why haven't I seen this before?  Was I so blinded by my own needs that I just passed right over his. Lord, today and for the rest of my life, please open my ears to hear what my husband has to say.  Help me to be his biggest fan.  Help me to see that sometimes it is best to just listen and not speak.  Show me when I should just be there for him and not speak my mind.  Help me to continue to guard my words so that what I say is honoring to you and uplifting to my husband.
