Encouraging Myself While Encouraging my Husband

I have written a letter of appreciation to my husband.  I plan to read it to him.  Because it encouraged me just to write it, I wanted to pass it on to you what I did.  If you choose to do the same, it just might encourage you, too.  The author of the book Love and Respect uses the the acronym C.H.A.I.R.S. for six of the chapters.  Each letter is for a different thing husband like to be respected for, he says.  I used the acronym from the book as a guide in writing. 

If you're interested in doing the same and being encouraged by writing a letter to your husband, look up the book Love and Respect on amazon and "Look Inside!" at the contents of the book.  Here's a link to that.

Here's an example of the first thing a husband likes to be respected for that I wrote in the letter to my husband, and you are welcome to follow the guide the way I did.  I wrote, "You have a desire to work and achieve.  Your desires have come to completion because you do work and achieve.  And God has honored you, because it's not just any work, and it is beneficial achievement." 

And then I went on to say what his work is, which explains in and of itself why it is beneficial achievement.  I made almost the same opening statements per point.  I am excited to read it to him.

I hope you do write the letter.  It was a great encouragement to me this morning as I sat and wrote it.
