He needs a safe place where he knows he is accepted and protected and that place is you.
-
- In the same way that you need to feel like opening up with him is a safe place, he needs to feel like opening up with you is a safe place too.
- A Safe Place is a place where you feel accepted, protected
- Forgiveness is a learned skill and at the core of acceptance
- He will often feel like he has to perform for acceptance in his job and the culture surrounding him.
- If he feels like coming home to you is a continuation of the competition/performance demand, he feels "out there" he will not look forward to coming home.
- Focus more on lifting him up not just telling him what he’s doing wrong all the time. Your words have the power to build him up and make him want to be the man that you believe he is, or pull him down and make him feel like he can never measure up (Prov 18:21 Life & Death are in the power of the tongue).
- Encouragement and praise will provide fuel to his internal engine more than anything else you can imagine.
- ONE FINAL THING: Learning to accept & protect one another is essential for developing a long-term successful relationship. If I'm always trying to change my partner...it will kill the heart of the relationship and the love and acceptance, we all long for.
- We’re not talking about a situation where abusive and damaging actions are the order of the day.
