Do you adore your spouse?
I know you love them but how much do you adore them?
We need to do more than just say, "I love you" for our spouse to know
how we really feel. We need to adore them too.
Adoration is a combination of love, respect and admiration.
For some, this is easy; others struggle. If adoration doesn’t come naturally to you, try one of these helpful tips:
Adore your spouse unconditionally
You should adore your spouse as he or she is.
Don’t wait for your partner to change before you adore them; accept them even if they’re not 100 percent adorable just yet.
Adore your spouse for their achievements
Let them know exactly why you adore them.
You could say, “you’re such a good provider” or “you’re such a good mom” or “you’re
so good at making our house feel like a home.”
Listen to your spouse
Our spouse doesn't always come to us for answers and solutions. Sometimes they just want a listening ear.
In those moments, be patient and give them time to formulate their thoughts. It’s such a powerful way to make them feel adored in this noisy world.
Make time for your spouse
In today’s busy world it’s easy to let your spouse’s needs slide to second, third place or even last place.
If this is happening in your marriage, carve out time for your partner. Take a break from work or get someone to watch the kids so you and your spouse can spend much needed time together.
Adore your spouse through physical intimacy
In marriage, adoration is expressed through physical and emotional intimacy. So
make time to for unhurried intimacy.
Adore your spouse through compliments
Compliment your spouse in front of friends and family.
Build them up. Praise them. Reveal that you actually like them.
Giving a compliment at home is one thing, but complimenting in public is another.
You can say things like “I love my husband because he is so thoughtful” or “I love my wife because she’s the heart and soul of our family.”
Don’t keep
your adoration and appreciation for your spouse secret from the rest of the world.
And although you shouldn't stop saying, “I love you", maybe it’s time to consider demonstrating your love and adoration for your spouse through your actions too.
