SELF ESTEEM !- BOOST IT UP

1. Offer every one unconditional love. Whatever they do or don't do, show your love for them. If their behavior is upsetting you, discuss this with them . Everyone makes mistakes. If they make a mistake, show that you still love them regardless.
2. Be supportive. Make sure your spouse knows they have your full support. If someone else is criticizing your partner, you need to defend him or her . The relationship between a husband and wife is supposed to supersede other relationships. You need to stand by your spouse fully and show total support.
3. Make sure to share the credit. If your spouse is suffering from low self-esteem, they might not see how they are contributing to the marriage and family every day. Point out these things to others and to your spouse. Let your spouse know how much you value their abilities and how much it helps.
4. Help your spouse to discover any hidden talents. Ask them about what they can do well or like to do or would even like to learn to do. Encourage them to do more of this or take a class. Perhaps you will both be interested and can learn or practice together.
5. Sometimes it is nice to do little things "just because", such as giving gifts, leaving notes and doing other special things for your partner. These things can (and should) be done outside special occasions too.
