Make sure you get the most out of these by diving into them with an open mind and heard, and a willingness to put to action what you learn.

Husbands: Stop Trying to Fix Her Feelings
You offer solutions. You explain. You try to make it better. But instead of feeling loved, she ...may end up feeling like you don't really understand her.
Sometimes, she doesn't need you to fix anything. She needs you to be present.
If you grew up feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions, you may have learned that fixing things is how you show love. But marriage gives you an opportunity to learn something different: you can sit with your wife's emotions without taking responsibility for making them disappear.
James 1:19 says, “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.”
Before you reach for a solution, try reaching for understanding.
❤️ Listen.
❤️ Stay present.
❤️ Let her feel what she feels.
❤️ Then ask, “Do you want me to listen, or do you want help solving this?”
That's how you turn fixing into connection.
If this is a pattern in your marriage and you want help changing it, comment HELP for a free 30-minute strategy call.
