Day Six:

"...whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Cor. 10:31b

Do you recognize and appreciate your husband's creativity? Or do you criticize and

demean his efforts? Instead of negativity, determine to be positive. Perhaps you can

help your husband see that his efforts are an opportunity to glorify God.

Is your husband the "creative" type? Does he have any artistic gifts? What is that

special "knack" he has? Affirm him for his handiwork - a hobby, music, gardening,

tinkering with cars, working with wood, etc. Remember: Even if he doesn't measure up

to your standards, praise his efforts. If your budget allows, buy him a book or magazine

that will continue to encourage his special skill or talent.

If you have a hard time finding his "creative side," understand that men's creativity

sometimes is related to their work. Find something he does to make his job run more

smoothly or something he does that adds value to his work...and let him know that you

have noticed.

Make his day...Praise his accomplishments in public, while he is listening.
