• Be generous with your time and your resources and with giving credit and, especially, with your words. It's so much easier to be a critic than a celebrator.

To understand and be understood, those are among life's greatest gifts, and every interaction is an opportunity to exchange them.

• Encouragement requires empathy and seeing the world from your spouse's perspective. We must first learn what is important to our spouse. Only then can we give encouragement. With verbal encouragement, we are trying to communicate, "I know. I care. I am with you. How can I help?" We are trying to show that we believe in him and in his abilities. We are giving credit and praise.
