30 Ways a Wife Can Bless Her Husband (Paperback)

A husband longs to be unconditionally loved and accepted by his wife. As a wife, it is easy to take for granted that your husband already knows how much you love him—but sometimes he doesn't.

30 Ways a Wife Can Bless Her Husband is packed with 30 simple, fun, and affordable activities to show your husband that you love and appreciate him! From fun date night ideas to keeping the kitchen stocked with his favorite snack, easily turn these simple acts of kindness into powerful blessings that will positively impact your marriage for a lifetime! Using the illustration of Christ and his bride and other Bible passages as models, John Trent shares practical ways to bless your husband using the 5 Elements of the Blessing.

In every home, with every wife, there is a choice: a choice to bless her husband. A wife can choose to communicate that incredible gift of unconditional love and acceptance that her husband longs for...or she can actively or passively withhold the blessing from her husband, opening the door to loneliness and emotional hurt.

This easy-to-read book will help you demonstrate the message that God has for all of us: husbands in every home deserve to know that their wife and Jesus is crazy about them!

Make this truth a reality for your husband and give him the gift of the Blessing so he can be free to serve others, gain personal strength, and grow in God's purpose for him. Help your husband embrace the truth that with God's love, he can do and be more than he ever imagined.

Blessing others is a choice. Before turning to Jesus, author John Trent harbored resentment and hatred toward his alcoholic father for years. After he gave his life to Christ, John forgave his father and realized that he was given the same choice as his father: to bless or withhold blessing from his own family. Since then, John has shown millions of families how to break the cycle of rejection and bless one another.

What are the 5 Elements of the Blessing?

But what exactly does it mean to give a blessing? The Blessing as described in Scripture always included five elements:

1. Meaningful and appropriate touch—holding hands or faithfully giving a goodnight kiss
2. A spoken message—telling your husband how much he means to you or praising him for taking such good care of the kids
3. Attaching high value to the one being blessed—speaking and affirming God's truth and value over your husband
4. Picturing a special future for him or her—finding ways to encourage your husband's potential and envisioning the ways he can impact the world for Christ
5. An active commitment to fulfill the blessing—learn to build a habit of consistently showing your husband how much he means to you
