You share the same home, the same bed, the same life. When something bad or good happens to your partner, it affects you just as much. When something causes him pain or frustration, you must be healing, gentle, and understanding, like the nursing of a bodily injury.
Don’t let the culture around you define your relationship.
What need does your spouse have that you could meet today? Can you run an errand? Give a back rub or a foot massage? Is there housework you could help with? Choose a gesture that says, “I cherish you,” and do it with a smile.
