In every home, with every husband, there is a choice: a choice to bless his wife.

Help your wife embrace the truth that with God's love, she can do and be more than she ever imagined. Blessing others is a choice. Before turning to Jesus, author John Trent harbored resentment and hatred toward his alcoholic father for years. After he gave his life to Christ, John forgave his father and realized that he was given the same choice as his father: to bless or withhold blessing from his own family. Since then, John has shown millions of families how to break the cycle of rejection and bless one another. What are the 5 Elements of the Blessing? But what exactly does it mean to give a blessing? The Blessing as described in Scripture always included five elements: Meaningful and appropriate touch―holding hands or faithfully giving a goodnight kiss A spoken message―telling your wife how much she means to you or praising her for taking such good care of the kids Attaching high value to the one being blessed―speaking and affirming God's truth and value over your wife Picturing a special future for him or her―finding ways to encourage your wife's potential and envisioning the ways she can impact the world for Christ An active commitment to fulfill the blessing―learn to build a habit of consistently showing your wife how much she means to you About The Blessing Books by John Trent Based on the best-selling book written by Dr. John Trent and Gary Smalley, The Blessing , these Bible-based, easy-to-read books encourage family members to be a blessing to one another.
