Building Healthy Families –Wives, want to build up your marriage?  Stop and think about your husband’s gifts. (No, not the ones he gave you for your birthday!) What are his talents? What are his spiritual gifts? What does he love to do? What are his accomplishments? Recognize them, name them, and communicate your respect for them . . . to him and to others. It’s one way to build a great relationship.  -Lutheran Family Service
