I love the word thank you, anytime someone says that to me, I feel fullfilled and I am always eager to do more. Do you feel the same way too? Especially when it comes from someone I love and cherish it means the whole world to me. I am sure you have felt like this at one time or the other. Thank you is such a simple word but yet very Powerful. There is a saying in Igbo language in Nigeria which goes like this “eto dike na ke omelu, ome kwa ozo” meaning praise a man for what he has done and he would be moved to do more. How often do you thank your spouse for what he or she has done for you?
Most time we seem to neglect using this word “Thank You” for our spouse not because we do not appreciate our spouse but because we are so used to our spouse that we seems to take their help or assistance for granted. If only you know how powerful the word is , you will use it daily for your spouse. Don’t make the mistake of thinking there is no need thanking your spouse for fulfilling their obligations at home. Even for the simplest of task , always thank your spouse, it goes a long way in your marital life.
Do you thank you spouse after having your meal, do you appreciate the effort she put into preparing the meal, have you ever thought of coming back home to no food? So you must thank her for fulfilling her wifely duty. What of when your hubby fix the flat tire, do you appreciate him for doing it or you just feel well that is a man’s job there is no big deal about it? Dear friend any task at all being done by your spouse is worth being grateful for, you will only realize the importance of what your spouse is doing the day he or she is not there at the moment to fulfill that task.
Are you the type of spouse that appreciates his or her partner in their heart but never says it. It is one thing to be thankful and it is another to say it, both are not the same, even if deep down in your heart you appreciate all the efforts your spouse puts in to getting things done, without appreciating your spouse verbally he or she will not know. Motivate your spouse to be more willing to help out with task at home, or fulfil their obligations by thanking them. There is no limit to how many times you can thank your spouse but let your spouse see that it is coming from your heart and not that you are saying it to fulfill all righteousness.
Thank your spouse with the right attitude, you can’t say thank you and yet your body language is not saying the same, your mood and body language must reflect what you are saying otherwise you spouse might not take you serious. Thank your spouse always and experience the power of Thank you in your Home.
