The #1 Way To Serve Your Wife

I traveled to the Grand Canyon recently with my family.  Needless to say, we took a lot of pictures.  My wife used a Canon camera with a big lens and lots of buttons, and  I used my cell phone.  When I think of taking pictures, I feel they should always have people in them because what I want to remember is the shared experience of the location with the people I love.
 
My wife also took some pictures of the kids and I at the canyon, but she also wants to capture the beauty of the Grand Canyon by itself, with no people to be seen.
 
Or a picture of a flower.
Or a picture of a gecko lizard.
To her, these scenes are beautiful and she loves to capture beauty.
To me beauty is having people in pictures. To her, beauty is pictures with people and also pictures of the landscape.
I was reminded once again that the #1 way to serve your wife is found in the following axiom:
 
What matters to you, matters to me.
That line deserves your attention.  Some people engrave words on a bracelet and walk around with it as a reminder to something that is important to them. I want to encourage you to evaluate what are the key interests in your wife’s life that matter to her. What are the things that make her passionate, cause her concern, stimulate her curiosity, and create life in her being?
 
Ask her about it.  If you already know, ask her about it again. She will love it.
 
Then, do whatever it takes to engrave those things on your heart. Or, make one at www.reminderband.com for $10.00 so that you can be reminded every day that you want to serve her and serve her well in what matters to her.
 
Think about all the ways you can focus on what matters to her.
If drinking coffee matters to her, buy her an espresso machine.
If thriving in her career is of utmost importance to her, ask her how you can encourage her.
If traveling the world matters to her, brainstorm how you can start doing that more.
If helping the hopeless is on her heart, listen to her and see where you both can make a difference in their lives.
 
You can do this. You can make your wife more of a priority. You can choose to spend quality time with her. You can connect with her and when you connect with her you will find out…
 
What
Matters
To
Her
Will
Matter
To
You.
 
Question: When are you going to re-engage with your wife so you know daily what matters to her?
