Gratitude is an appreciation for something one has done for you. (2 Samuel 9:1) Couples expect their spouse to show appreciation for things done. Whenever this isn't forthcoming, there will be a reaction from such a spouse.

In a similar vein, God expects us to express gratitude to Him for all He has done for us. The story of the ten lepers portrays this fact. (Luke 17:11-19)

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Whenever you don't show gratitude to your spouse, you are removing something from your spouse. Many times couples focus on things that have not to be done rather than appreciating things that have been done.

How do you show appreciation in marriage?

1. Never trivialize what your spouse has done; no matter how little it may seem, always appreciate their effort.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
2. Learn to admire your spouse's appearance or excellent work. Become your spouse's biggest fan. "Behind every great man is a woman admiring him"

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Don't criticize good things your spouse does, even if you feel it's not worth it or necessary.

Husbands compliment your wife's good looks or attires. Praises make them feel loved and boost their confidence. A wife who never receives compliments except during intercourse will grow to resist her husband.

Celebrate your wife, she's the most beautiful and perfect for you. Always let her know she's the best for you and constantly appreciate her. (Proverbs 5:19)

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Watch your words. Ensure you are motivating her and renewing the commitment to make the union work. Kind words have a great effect on your home.

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Appreciate your wife's domestic efforts. They do a lot to keep the home running. Never trivialize her efforts. They are doing a great job.

Show gratitude to your parents. They are part of the family. Always reach out to them and celebrate them for the work they put in to raise you. (Eph 6:2-3)

#ChurchGRA #Gratitude #MyTurnToShine
Honor your parents in accordance with how God has blessed you. Remember when you do this, you are sowing a seed. One day it will be the turn of your children to honor you.
