Encouraging Your Husband to Value Your Influence
It is your example—your attitude and actions—that speak the most powerfully to him. Not nagging, preaching, lecturing, or verbally trying to pressure him.
When he sees you live a godly life over an extended period of time, he knows he can feel safe with you.
As he sees that your actions and words match up over the long haul, he may begin to soften to your influence and welcome you to speak into his life as a trusted advisor.

Put your husband as priority even when kids arrive. Keep looking after your appearance, don't deprive him sexually, and make him feel special. One of the greatest gifts you can give your kids is a healthy marriage.
I want to remember that Im here to serve, not to be served. When I see that Im not content, grumpy, and dissatisfied, I go back to Jesus and remember His example of serving others and washing feet. It's our capacity to love and give to others that brings true joy.
The Holy women of the past adorned their souls with inner beauty by submitting to their own husbands. The inward beauty God desires is for us to have meek and quiet spirits that trust Him and are not easily offended or upset.
Inner beauty is pouring grace and love on others. It is willing to let small matters go for the sake of peace. It chooses to thank God and be content in all circumstances even if we'd prefer different ones.
Inner beauty is worshipping the Lord in Spirit and Truth by obeying Him from the heart at all times as the Holy Spirit guides us moment by moment. It is knowing God cares way more about our souls than any small issue we might get concerned about.
