It's not too much fun to be married to someone with low self esteem.
They can be very negative indecisive, and controlling.
If you are reading this article because your spouse suffers from low self esteem then I'm sure that you wish that I am going to reveal some magic potion that will build their self esteem and allow you to have a good married life.
Unfortunately, I don't have any of magic potions (and either does anyone else have one) and the truth is that YOU can't build their self esteem, only they can.
They have to do everything, we are merely their strong support system In this article, however, I'm going to show you 3 things you can do to HELP them build their self esteem.
1.
Be respectful.
This is pretty hard to do a lot of times but even when you want to show disapproval of something they did do it in a respectful manner.
If you treat them with respect they will follow suit and begin to treat themselves also with respect.
In giving your reaction or comments, no matter how negative you are or how strong you disagree with them, you must be respectful.
It is not wrong to express your opinion.
You need to express them and exercise your free will, but do it the right and respectful way.
You will see how much they will change when you constantly show them respect.
2.
Share the credit.
When something goes good in the house (or with you) find some way that your spouse helped to attain that success and tell them.
When they feel that they were successful at something this will help them to be successful at more things.
Like the adage goes, "Success breeds success.
" Not only does success breed success but it also breeds good self esteem.
3.
Give something nice "just because".
Don't wait for a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary.
Just find something that THEY like and attach a nice little note how much you appreciate being married to them.
They might feel a little funny getting such a note (especially if it the husband that suffers from low self esteem) but knowing that SOMEONE really cares for him will be a big help to build their self esteem.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any medication to give your spouse to boost their self esteem and there really is not way that YOU can boost their self esteem.
However try the three tips above and slowly but surely you will see your spouse's self esteem grow.
Try it yourself; you will be amazed at how much difference it will bring to your spouse and to your marriage.
