If your husband shares something that interests him or something he really enjoys … pay attention.

I realize that seems very simple on the surface, but please understand it’s a significant thing. He is sharing something of himself – his interest, his likes, his thoughts, his desires. Those things are close to his heart, if not parked inside it. And he’s sharing them with you!

Engage. Listen to him. Ask a question. Use these interests for gift ideas. Create a date night that involves something he mentioned. Make an effort to include in your lives those things he enjoys or has shown an interest in.

He’s sharing what’s important to him or sharing what has snagged his mind. Engage and receive it as a personal gift, because it is.
