 Look for and focus on the good in your Husband!!!

Men NEED respect!  Women NEED love!

In our cornerstone post, 15 Ways to Show RESPECT to your Husband, we gave a list of …you guessed it, 15 ways to show respect to your husband.  Welcome to part one in our follow-up series of eleven posts where we discuss our first suggestion in greater detail. You will find real life examples and be provided with ideas to help you find ways to look for and focus on the good in your husband.
