This is in sequel to How to Make Your Spouse Support Your Dreams. This was posted on Thursday the 11th June, 2020.

It is propelling and encouraging when family members especially the spouse and friends believe in your idea.

This is needed when launching a business or pursuing a passion because it helps in pushing through self doubt and discouragements.

Without the support of one’s spouse, it makes the progress slow and little; your spouse assistance is important.

After getting your spouse’s support towards fulfilling your goals, aspirations or assignment, you need to learn the art of appreciation. Appreciate your spouse after every good gesture so as to enjoy further support.

Thank You for Supporting My Dreams Darling, I Really Appreciate You!

When last did you say THANK YOU to your spouse for supporting your idea?

It is not every time your spouse kicks your idea away; appreciate the ones he or she approves to give the needed encouragement for next time.

At the end of it all, when your partner goes all out to support your dreams and aspirations, what should you do in return?

Some spouses are wonderful and my darling husband is in this category. I hope I’m allowed to praise him for his good works? My husband gives his full backing for whatever I set out to do. In as much as it is a safe venture that won’t get his wife into trouble; I can be sure of his support.

Do you have an amazing partner who holds your hand through life’s challenges?

It is Time to Show Appreciation.
Appreciate that woman for standing by you in doing the work of the ministry. She took on the role she never thought to assume in her life. She had to learn the art of public speaking. She suddenly becomes the mother in Israel whose lifestyle everyone is imitating; she couldn’t afford to fail in that role.

You are resigning from a well paying job to go into full time mission works and your partner is not objecting because he/she has come to accept the leading of God. Remember the bills and some discomfort that your partner is willing to bear with for you to fulfill purpose.

Your spouse is bridging the gap your frequent absence at the home front is creating because you are pursuing a higher academic degree. Some men have taken on the role of nannies and care for the children while their wives are away pursuing their educational goals. Kudos!

You are to merge your resources to make the business float. Your partner isn’t complaining despite the huge amount of money the business is gulping. He or She has faith that it will end well.

Typically, the human nature tends to take things for granted, but here are few things you can do to express your appreciation to your supportive spouse.

Ways to Appreciate to Your Spouse:
- Be Grateful. Don’t take the good will of your spouse for granted. Anytime your spouse supports or pushes you to greatness, it is good to show appreciation.

The first thing is for you to work around the:
Love Language (according to Gary Chapman) of your spouse.
1. Words of Affirmation. Give it in abundance. You can say it or write it out. Write letters to your spouse stating the good you are thanking him or her for. You can do small notes as well and drop them in places your spouse can easily see them.
–Inside Bags

–On the bed

–Inside the Bible, devotional or favorite book

–on the reading table

2. Giving of gifts. The gift doesn’t have to be expensive but the thought behind it must be of value. Get something useful and not what they will dump at home. Wrap the gift in a fancy way; beautiful gift wrappers or boxes will suffice.
3. Acts of service. Render a service in return for your partner’s effort in making you happy. Even when it is a bit not convenient, you might want to bear it in order to reciprocate the good previously done.
4. Quality time. In the midst of your tight schedule posed by the new venture, create time for your spouse. Maximize every free moment to connect with your spouse. You should also deliberately create bonding time away from life pursuits.
5. Physical touch. Don’t be stingy with hugs, kisses and cuddles.

Don’t stop doing the good that paved way for the initial support. Some people only put up good acts when they need something from their spouses. Don’t discard the good time on the bed, the listening ears your spouse has come to appreciate.

Support the dreams of your spouse. When the tide turns and your spouse calls for your input, kindly support. Remember you are made for each other. Ecclesiastes 3:9-10 explains the power of two.

Don’t relegate the place of prayers. Bless your partner in the place of prayers. You need to keep praying for strength for your spouse so he or she doesn’t get discouraged. The idea needs prayers for it to stay floating till the end, it must succeed.
Your spouse shouldn’t have any reason to regret supporting you.

Letter To Say Thank You

Dear Husband,

It is with great pleasure and a heart full of gratitude that I write this letter to you darling.

This is to express my profound gratitude to God for giving me an amazing husband like you to complement me on this journey of destiny fulfillment. If I had chosen by sight, it might not be you because my physical eyes could only see the present and not the future.

The Lord will reward you bountifully for partnering with God in bringing out the best in me. Even when nothing was making sense you were seeing the sense that lies ahead.

I appreciate the wisdom with which you dissect the ideas I bring before you for approval. Thank you for not throwing them into the trash can.

Thank you for giving to the Lord and humanity through me.

Your darling wife will forever be grateful.

Let’s do more under God for great is our reward if we do not faint.

I love you now and forever.



Your Grateful wife.
