Many of you come to Wife Coaching with a goal that you and your husband become "best friends." That strikes me as odd because Stuart and I started out as best friends and we still are.
I think one of the reasons why so many marriages drift apart is because, we forget to treat our husband like he is our friend.
Today, I will share three simple things you can do immediately to let you husband know, he is your friend (and I am NOT talking about on FaceBook).
1) Stop criticizing him
2) Stop treating him like your son or a subordinate at work
3) Stop meeting his needs and desires after you take care of children, parents, and other "friends"
I promise you will see results. Why because all best friends want to feel important. Your husband is no different especially if you want him to be your friend.
Proverbs 18:24a (NKJV) reads:
"A man who has friends must himself be friendly"
That goes for wives too!
The greatest news is the rest of that verse which reads: But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. My final tip to make your husband your best friend is to KNOW and LIVE like Jesus is your best friend for life!
