Help- not only is my husband unemployed but he’s also so stressed!

Join Leah to hear how closeness to our husband, even throughout this stressful stage, is just a few steps away.

Leah’s Points To Ponder:

• Tune in at 09:59 to hear a poignant story about how a struggling wife distanced from her unemployed husband could empower him and improve everything!
• Highlighting how he is the source of all blessing can be the lifeline for a man drowning in his stress.
• We have the power to build him up. How?
  1. First is knowing that we have the capacity to build up our man.
  2. Our sources tell us that giving him words of comfort and showing love builds him and increases brocha (blessing) in our lives.
  3. A man’s identity is wrapped up in his job- never give an unemployed husband menial tasks to do.
  4. Treat him royally.
• In order to build our man, we must build ourselves- it’s vital to be aware of our stress levels. Watch the “cup of stress” analogy at 44:10 which portrays the importance of keeping our stress levels low. How?
  1. We need to recognize that we have a “stress cup.”
  2. Relax through self-care/exercise/breathing techniques/speaking it through.
  3. Know when to say “no,” and set boundaries.
  4. Increase coping skills and resilience by slowly stretching ourselves.
  5. We must pace and educate ourselves.
• If a wife takes care of her stress levels she can focus her efforts on the most important task of giving her husband the comfort, love and support he needs which will build him up.
