Women aren’t the only ones who face immense peer pressure. Your hubby is exposed to those seemingly perfect lives on Instagram, too. He’ll see the fitness models with their bulging biceps, the megapastors preaching to the masses, or the high school friend whose start-up was just featured in the New York Times.

While all these voices are telling your husband that he needs to be more and do more, make your voice powerful enough to silence the others. Let him know that you think he is the best, that he does enough and is enough. Call out specific aspects of his life that are phenomenal and remind him of his identity in Christ.

Bonus: Every once in a while, give your husband a public shout. This could be on social media, but it could be as simple as bragging about him to your in-laws at your next family holiday gathering. Let him see you appreciating him in front of others.
