Author and Crosswalk contributing writer Lori Freeland may have a degree in Psychology, but she also has 26 years of marriage under her belt. And here, she outlines 10 things she thinks wives should do for their husbands if they want to help strengthen their marriage.
Navigating a successful marriage can be challenging. Whether you've been together thirty days or thirty years, you've probably figured this out. As wives, we had expectations that began way before our man got down on one knee. We had hopes of what our lives as a forever couple would look like. Maybe your dreams became reality, or maybe they didn't. But I'm guessing, if you're anything like me, you found what came after you walked down the aisle to be somewhere in between.
Something I've learned over the last twenty-six years since I said "I do" is that there are ups and downs in marriage, just like there are in life. When your relationship with your husband is soaring and you want it to stay that way, ask yourself, "What can I do for him?" When your relationship is plummeting and you're desperate for a foothold, ask yourself, "What can I do for him?"
Putting ourselves temporarily aside, answering this question, and backing it with action can only strengthen your marriage. The list I'm offering next is meant to be a springboard. God knows your husband better than you; ask Him to reveal your husband's heart. Then, pay attention and run with what He tells you.

I'm not talking about behind closed doors. I'm talking about in the car, in the grocery store, on the couch, or as you bump into each other in the kitchen. Touch is a powerful connector; it shows affection, offers intimacy, and communicates "I love you" without a single word.
Even though your husband may not act like he needs that kind of affection connection, he probably does. He may not even realize it. This week, make a conscious effort to get physical. See how he reacts when you sit close to him the way you did when you were dating, when you take his hand during a movie, or when you rub his shoulders after work. He's yours to love. Take advantage of the fact that you're the only woman who gets to touch him this way.
Respect isn't about letting him make every decision and then going along blindly. Respect is about trusting him as your life partner, and treating him the way you want to be treated. It is also about considering his thoughts before you make decisions, and talking things out and working as a team.
A lot of responsibilities come along with the words, "I do." Respect is trusting him to take care of those things he's promised to take on so you're free to handle the things you've promised to take on.
You don’t have to be alone. It’s one of the best parts of being married. The second you exchange rings, you have a best friend, roommate, and life partner who is exclusively yours. You don't have to go through life as a single person, and neither does he.
There will be seasons of your life and in your marriage where one of you will need to take the lead and be strong for the other. Your hardships are his and his are yours. Step in when you see him struggling. Offer to carry the load while he catches his breath. Be his strength and his respite.
Maybe I should start with learn his love language-it's not always yours. You may feel loved when he makes dinner or brings you a gift, but when you reciprocate, he may not react the way you want if he sees love differently than you.
Take the time to notice what makes him feel closer to you; what makes him smile, what makes him feel special, and what makes him feel like your number one. And if you're not good at reading him, ask. I'm betting he'll be happy to tell you.

He got your attention with his out-of-the-box personality, his crooked smile, the way he laughed during TV shows that weren't really funny, and...you fill in the blank with all the things you loved about your guy when you first became a couple. So why do so many of us try to change our husbands after the wedding?
Life will shape him. He'll grow, adapt, and change with God's help, not yours. Let him be the man you married. Accept him for who he is now. Give him room to figure out who he is later. And never stop falling in love with the man he's becoming.
You're married. You live together, sleep together, maybe work together or parent together- that's a lot of together . But you don't have to suffocate each other.
Does he need a few minutes when he walks in the door to transition from work to home? Gift him with space to decompress. Does he need guy time? Encourage him in his friendships. Even the closest couple needs time apart. Whether that time apart lasts minutes or hours, figure that out and allow him what he needs to recharge. You'd want the same consideration.
It sounds weird, I know. But how many times are we more considerate of someone we don't know than we are to those closest to us? I'm not suggesting we hold ourselves aloof, keep our needs to ourselves, or become doormats; I am suggesting we treat our husbands better than anyone else we meet.
Think about it this way: when we're with someone we don't know very well, we don't let our emotions get the best of us, we don't demand things, and we try our hardest to be polite. What if we expended a little energy to tone down our tempers, to ask for what we need, and to care about what he needs? Try treating him better than a stranger and see what happens.
I'm sure you've heard, "marriage isn't 50/50, it's 100/100". But that's not quite accurate. Sometimes it's 20/80, 40/60, or 70/30. Sometimes you will need to give more than he does. This can be hard, especially if you feel as though he's never taking his turn. But if you want the marriage to work, accept that the same truth that applies in life-it's not fair-also applies to your relationship.
Notice I'm not saying that it's your job to do all the work, because it isn't. In an ideal world, you both do the work and you both reap the benefits. Sadly, we don't live in an ideal world. But here's what I've discovered: if expending the effort becomes a struggle, don't make it about what he wants or what you think is expected of you-take it to God. Ask Him exactly what you need to give. He knows your husband better than you do, and He's rooting for your relationship. He won't steer you wrong; instead, He'll give you the grace to follow through.
Remember when you used to be interested in everything he did, everywhere he went, and everyone he was with? The details of his life couldn't come detailed enough. Sometime along the marriage road, we all get caught up in ourselves-our jobs, our responsibilities, our kids, the daily crisis we're left to manage-and we forget we're part of an "us." As we pay less and less attention to what goes on in our husband's day, we start to drift apart.
Remember, the guy you're married to is not only your roommate, he's your friend and the other half of your team. Make an effort to know what's going on his life when he's not with you. Ask him questions, and listen when he shares. Be the person he turns to for advice.
There's a time to ask questions, and then there's a time to be there . If you're paying attention, you'll know how to differentiate the two. Sometimes talking makes it worse. Sometimes he just can't tell you what's going on or what he needs. Sometimes life just gets too hard.
Don't beg him for what you need. Pray.
Don't argue with him over and over. Pray.
Don't nag him to do what you feel is right. Pray.
And don't give up. Ever. Just pray.

What Mel Gibson's Ex-Wife Is Doing Today

By Callie McGuire / Updated: April 11, 2022 1:03 pm EDT
The divorce between Mel Gibson and his wife Robyn Moore Gibson is believed to be the biggest payout in Hollywood history, per People 's report back in 2011. The outlet reported that the "Lethal Weapon" star gave his ex-wife Robyn $425 million in their divorce settlement that year. The celebrity couple was married for almost 30 years and shares seven children. The Gibsons didn't have a prenuptial agreement, so Robyn was legally entitled to half of everything he earned during the marriage. In addition, the "Braveheart" star must share his film residual income with his ex-wife. People reported Robyn is entitled to half of every future residual check Mel receives for the rest of his life.
According to The Hollywood Reporter , Mel and Robyn's marriage became troubled in the 2000s. The celebrity couple separated shortly after Mel's infamous 2006 arrest for driving under the influence and anti-Semitic rant that hurt his career. But Robyn did not file for divorce until 2009 after finding out that Mel's then-girlfriend Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva was pregnant, per HuffPost .
When Mel's romance with Oksana turned ugly and she accused the actor of domestic abuse, Robyn stuck up for the father of her children. According to TMZ , Robyn made a sworn declaration to the court on Mel's behalf, saying he never physically abused her or any of their children in all the years they were together. Robyn told the court, "Mel was a wonderful and loving father." So what is Mel's ex-wife doing today? You'll have to keep reading to find out!
Robyn Moore Gibson, the ex-wife of Mel Gibson , just bought her third Malibu home. Variety reported that Robyn purchased a "clifftop compound" on one of the best streets in Malibu's Point Dume peninsula. The ex-wife of the "Braveheart" star has purchased three homes in the Malibu area. Based on real estate purchases alone, it appears that Robyn is doing well financially. Other than real-estate news, there is not much public information about what Robyn is doing now.
The former voice-over artist and dental nurse, born Robyn Denise Moore, doesn't have to work. As mentioned, Robyn received $425 in her divorce settlement. Mel and Robyn's divorce was finalized in December 2011. Even when Robyn was the wife of one of the top stars in Hollywood, she stayed behind the scenes.
According to The Daily Beast , Robyn was the actor's "rock of Gibraltar" and a "saint." The outlet reported that during her 30-year marriage to Mel, Robyn devoted her time to raising their seven kids and "keeping Gibson in line." The Daily Beast noted that Robyn "could care less" about Hollywood red carpets and parties. It appears in the years after her very public divorce, Robyn is living a quiet life, and she is very private.

“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her…” (Ephesians 5:25 NIV).
Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is hard work. It takes deliberate effort to follow through on the vows we make on our wedding day. No matter how well prepared we think we are for marriage, we aren’t—not until we begin to walk those vows out. Whether you’ve said, “I do,” recently or you’ve been together for decades, you can count on one thing—your lives will be full of for better or for worse.
So how can you keep your marriage strong in the better and build it back up in the worse? Love your wife more than yourself. Push your needs aside and instead of asking what she can do for you, ask, “What can I do for her?” The list I’m offering next is only meant as a springboard to answer that question. God knows your wife and your marriage. He put you together, and He wants you to stay together. Ask Him to reveal her heart, then pay attention to what He shows you.

Most women crave affection outside of the bedroom. In the beginning of your marriage , you probably didn’t even have to think about holding her hand or rubbing her back. The longer we’re married, the more absent our touches can become. Jobs, kids, and financial stress can take priority over focusing on one another.  

But even though life gets busy, her need to feel loved by you hasn’t changed. Look at it from her side—the day you married her, she became off-limits to every other man. Any affection she receives only comes from you. That’s a privilege, not a chore. She’s yours to take care of and love. You get her in ways no one else can have her. Don’t withhold something she needs; make touching her a priority. An unexpected hug can be worth a thousand I-love-you’s. Try it and see.

When you first met, I’ll bet you asked her where she wanted to eat, what movie she wanted to see, or what she thought about her future. When you knew she was the one, you probably saw her as a partner, an equal, and someone to talk things out with. Her opinions mattered.  

Now that you’re married, remember that. Keep listening to her, and value her input. Consider her needs even if you don’t understand them. Remember, she’s just as invested in the life you’re making together as you are, and she wants to feel as if she’s standing by your side instead of walking behind you. 

We get married for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that we don’t want to go through life alone. There’s something appealing about that picture of growing old and gray together. Part of that appeal comes from having someone else to shoulder your burden. 

When life weighs her down, step in and bear some of her load. Give her a chance to rest—emotionally, physically, spiritually. Be there for her, and when it comes time to return the favor, she’ll be strong enough to be there for you.

It’s true that women and men show and receive love differently, but I don’t think it’s about gender as much as it’s about personality. Not everyone speaks the same love language. Chances are, the things that make you feel appreciated and wanted won’t always make her feel the same. When you cart the kids around to give her a break, your heart’s in the right place. But if she really needed you to bring her flowers to feel loved, you’re going to go through a lot of effort to show your devotion and be left disappointed. 

Stop, drop, and roll. Stop and pay attention to what makes her feel cherished. What makes her feel like she’s your number one. Drop what you’re doing if it doesn’t match up. Then roll with what you discover. If you’re not an observant guy, cheat. Ask her what she needs. Yes, she may be irritated that you couldn’t figure it out, but she’ll also be touched that you cared enough to try. 

You fell in love with your wife for who she was, whether you met her in high school, college, or after. Maybe what first made you fall was her sense of humor, the way she wore her hair, or how you felt when she smiled at you. And you never wanted her to change. 

But people do change. Life brings experiences and circumstances along with responsibilities. And we have to adapt, good or bad. Plus, we want to grow as people, and God is pruning us to be our best. Encourage her to pursue new interests, make new friends, and change her style. Love who she was yesterday and be excited for who she’s going to become tomorrow.

When you get married, you naturally spend most of your time together. You live in the same place, have a lot of the same friends, and go to the same events. But even though you’ve merged your lives together, you both still need space. 

Give her time to be alone, but also give her the space to do the things that are important to her, even if they don’t interest you. If she feels good about who she is alone, she’ll be able to be a stronger partner when you’re together.

Test yourself this week. Watch how you interact with people you’ve just met. Are you polite? Considerate? Do you answer questions patiently? Listen to their opinions? Check yourself when you’re angry? Now compare that behavior with how you act around your wife. 

It’s been said that we treat the people closest to us the worst—because we feel safe in our relationships to express how we really feel. Expressing ourselves is fine, but we have a choice in the way we go about it. Why not take the gift you give stranger
