Ask him about his dreams & desires. Say, "Honey, if you could do anything, what would you dream of doing? More than anything else, what would energize you?" Let him joke about sex, but say, "Apart from that, what would you most love to do & why?" He may ask you why you are asking him this. Just tell him that you were just curious & you wanted to know. After all, these are the kinds of questions that you might ask someone when you are dating to get to know them better. Don't be afraid of this. By asking these questions you are not committing to help him experience this dream. This is just a fun discussion. He isn't going to act on it just because you brought it up. Since God is at work in all of us to will his good pleasure, your husband might share things with you deep from his spirit. It will honor him that you will listen.
This is one thing that Stephen and I talk about A LOT! Stephen is still searching (has been for over a year now) for that perfect job. It's hard to see someone that you love and care for deeply come home everyday depressed from a job that runs him down. I'm not saying he deserves better, but he worked so hard through college and he shouldn't be stuck where he is right now. It's hard to keep the faith, but that's what we have to do.
His biggest dream is to have a job that he can use his expertise (the reason he went to college) and help people become healthier but most of all....something he LOVES. He loves fitness and wellness. So that would be FABULOUS! He likes to travel and weekends and nights off would have to be a MUST. I'm so tired of being without him throughout the week. I know it's not a lot to ask---and I will continue to pray and keep the faith.
