4 Subtle Ways Your Husband Can Ask For Help

This silent signal could be a sign of physical or emotional problems. Or, it could be both. The two often go hand in hand because when we are tired it affects every other area of ​​our lives. Depending on the cause of your husband's exhaustion, he may need to see a doctor or therapist. In extreme cases, a sleep study may be needed to assess the cause of sleep deprivation.

Often we are programmed by our culture to think that we can continue to function on empty and take care of others, but we are told that we don't need to take care of ourselves. It's a lie, and it will ruin us if we're not careful. God created us with physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, and when we take care of ourselves, we are better able to take care of those around us and offer our bodies as a living sacrifice to God.

Paul talks about offering our bodies as a living sacrifice in Romans:

"So I recommend joy of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be happy. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun.Romans 12:1 NIV

Although we often overlook this aspect, an important part of what our body offers is to take care of it. A person who takes care of his body is able to serve the body of Christ more effectively, but one who is exhausted will eventually reach breaking point.

If your husband is not getting the physical rest he needs, encourage him to identify the root of the problem and get help if needed. When we are well rested and healthy, we can pour out into our families and communities from a place of wholeness. This is what God wants for us.
