One of the perks of my job is gaining insight into the male brain. The truth is men don’t have it easy either. Many silently suffer and hold so much inside. The pressure is real and they can be extremely hard on themselves. If you couple this with negative words from their partner regularly, it can be a very damaging combo.
Men feel their partner’s criticism to their core, even if they don’t show it. Many already doubt themselves and the last thing they need is that fear to be validated by the one who should be empowering them, especially if they are making a true effort in the life you’ve built together.
It’s easy to get stuck in what your partner is NOT but the key to a happy partnership is to focus on all the things your partner IS… and what you focus on will multiply! After all, a grateful heart protects you from negative thinking.
Choose your thoughts wisely as they create your feelings and in turn motivate the words you choose to express. The words we share with our partner hold tremendous weight. Respect the power of the word and good things will come.
I have found that if a man feels respected and appreciated outwardly, that is when they really thrive internally.
Let’s treat the good men out there like they deserve to be treated and speak to them in a way that shows our gratitude for all that they are in our lives!
