Dare: Find a specific, recent example when your spouse demonstrated Christian character in a noticeable way. Verbally commend them for this at some point today.

What example did you choose to recognize? How many other ways could you celebrate their growth in godliness? How could you encourage them to persevere in it? Christine apologized recently for a recent time that she spoke shortly to me. I had not given the incident any further thought, but it was so meaningful to me to have her apologize for it anyway. She is quick to humble herself at times like that, and I told her how much that means to me. It's that kind of humility that just makes my heart swell with affection for my incredible wife.
