13 Ways To Support Your Husband When He’s Having A Hard Time
Sometimes, our husbands are going through a season of life that is just really hard. Maybe it’s a very stressful project at work with a strict deadline looming, or his parent has received a scary health diagnosis. Whatever it is, as his wife and teammate, we play a big role in supporting our husbands and helping carry them through this tough time.
In times like these, we might fall back on the five love languages to help us make sure we are supporting and loving our spouses in the way they really need it. Sometimes this is challenging for us if our love language is different from our husband’s. For example, my primary love language is physical affection, but my husband's is words of affirmation, and I often struggle to remember to give him words of praise or gratitude. It’s more instinctive for me to give him a hug or touch him as I walk by. While I think the five love languages can be helpful, I don’t think they are the end all, be all. If you want to really shower and encompass someone in love, then I think it’s wise to utilize all five love languages.
