For married women, in what ways do you make your husband a better man? It would be nice if that would happen by virtue of our simple existence but in a more realistic way, what are things you do in your partnership that add value to his life?

Accountability to goals, plans, and obligations

Provide a different perspective to life and problems

Being a soft and encouraging place to land

Being a partner to help pick up the slack. We aim for 50/50 but sometimes it’s 80/20 or 100/0

Complimenting his strengths and him complimenting mine

Love this, thank you. I appreciate you breaking it down so tangibly.

There are a million ways we both add value to each other’s life… but we always say that he is the anchor that keeps me grounded and steady, and I’m the sunshine that brightens up his life. We are really different personality-wise, and I love that we can both be there for each other in those ways.

From your comment a better question may be to your husband. What are ways that you could offer support that you aren’t? Sometimes the way you want to be encouraged to be the best version of yourself doesn’t match his. Just like a love language people find encouragement, motivation, security in different forms. For example, when I met my husband he was very content with his job and income level (he does well, but I earn more). I had no issue with that but started sharing I am trying to earn more to but investment properties bc I like to remodel and have made good money doing it. After he saw me doing this he started looking for new jobs to earn more bc he wanted to participate and it became a group goal. If I had said you need to get a new job and make more it would have actually had the opposite effect of motivating him.
