Meet Your Wife’s Need for Spiritual Solidarity
First, read about the need for spiritual solidarity if you have not done so already.
Help your woman to be her best self. Never attempt to influence her to compromise her values. Seek goodness and honor along with her. Work for good together with her.
Be the father so that she doesn’t have to
A woman needs her husband to be involved in a positive way with the children. If your communications with your children aren’t at least 80 percent positive, you are probably not spending enough time with them. Take a child with you on an errand, to play catch, or to work with you in the yard. Make sure to attend each child’s school and sporting events whenever possible. Check out a book on raising children and read it together with your wife. Learn some quick tips for raising children. Develop your fathering skills. A little investment of time and love on your part while they are young will pay big dividends when they are older.
Don’t try to lower her standards
Be a true friend to her by supporting her in the values that she believes are important. Doing otherwise can quickly put you in the position of her spiritual enemy.
Encourage her to take the high road
Help her to be a more noble person by encouraging her in the way that she likes to be encouraged.
Stand by her when she stands her ground
Stand by her when she stands up for her beliefs and values, even if it makes you unpopular. You would want her to do the same for you.
Sincerely seek truth and goodness together with her
The only sure way to achieve spiritual unity with your woman is for each of you to find and follow spiritual truth. Since truth cannot contradict truth, if the beliefs of both of you are in accord with truth, they will be in accord with each other. As you both approach truth and goodness, you will be also be approaching each other because you will be moving toward the same spiritual position.
Pray with her
Kneeling and praying to God together with her once a day can help to bring your hearts and minds together for good. Take turns leading the prayer. Thank God for the many good things he has given you, thank him for the good qualities of your mate, and ask him for help in loving each other.
Pray for her
As you sincerely ask God to bless your wife with the strength, courage, comfort, and inspiration that she might need, your attitudes toward her will become more charitable and productive. We naturally come to love those whom we serve. Praying for the benefit of someone is a form of service.
