Blake R. Templeton coaches a husband afraid his wife will reject his affirmations. Templeton says the man's critical inner voice is the enemy's logic, and he should replace it with God's heart instead. Speaking blessing over your wife fuels her spiritual passion and removes the pressure of doubt.
I had a coaching client say, man, it feels cringe to, like, show her all this affirmation and words of encouragement and, like, my adoration of my heart. And I'm like, why? He's like, because she's not gonna like it. And so then I say, why would she not like it? Well, come to find out, he had been what we call a warrior. So he'd come into the house and she'd been Bible studying and, you know, worshiping. And he literally is processing logically from the enemy's voice. And he's like, hey, I mean, you're doing the stuff, but I don't see the And I'm like, bro, you can't do that. You're literally speaking the enemy's logic. Who are you to actually say something like that to destroy what God's doing inside of her? What you've got to do is you've got to have the Father's voice. You got to have God's heart and say, man, I'm blessing this. As the king in the house, you're like blessing her. You're like putting fuel on the fire. You're literally like showing her how the pleasure of your joy of her spending time in the word. You want to actually actually come into alignment with God's heart for her. You come into alignment with God's heart for her, you quit feeling the pressure from the enemy's voice, and then you quit bringing that pressure into your house.
