Is it healthy to keep praising ones spouse even when he's not always meeting up to expectations?

If it's something that really bothers you, definitely sit down and talk to him honestly about it when he's ready to sit and listen. At the same time, though, while he may not be deserving of your praise in those areas, there must be some areas where he is deserving of it. Let him know what you do appreciate about him, and find ways of supporting him if there are areas where he wants to meet your expectations but isn't quite sure how.

Continue to praise your husband... no one is perfect, kindly address the issue that concerns you.. because the humble husband admits his mistakes, even though he might find it difficult to say. Remember a woman has fine attributes she us in contributing to a happy marriage, a wise husband will recongnize this indeed.. Keep being submissive, and supportive of your husband... A quiet and mild spirit is of great value in the eyes of God..

I don't believe in praising someone disproportionately if one is not living up to expectations. That becomes too artificial. A little praise to psychologically boost someone who is not truly worth is fine only upto certain age and at certain situations.

People who grow up hearing unworthy praise end up mediocre and they always expect appreciation without becoming aware of their mediocrity. Sometimes calling a spade a spade is better, according to me.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
