Enjoy an evening of fun with your family at a local corn maze. Working together to find your way through the maze builds teamwork and cooperation. If you don't have a corn maze near your, find an alternative fall festival or activity to do together. 

Rake some leaves into big piles and have some fun jumping in them with your children, grandchildren, dog. or just enjoy time with your wife remembering your childhood.

As the trees are turning to bright orange, red and yellows, take your wife for a long drive to enjoy the beauty of God's creation.  Stop and smell the fall air, hold hands, and reflect on the good things that have happened this past year. 

Thank God and your spouse for specific blessings.

One way to keep the right career perspective is to intentionally include your wife in your day.  Meeting your wife for lunch, FaceTiming during the day, and keeping your wife informed about what is going on at work are ways to help you stay grounded in your marriage. 

This week be intentional to include your wife in your workday.

Fall is a great time to plan a family camping trip. Find a state park or other campground close by and stay a couple of nights.

I have found, no matter how well I plan, I forget something important. Working together to figure out how to overcome what's missing is half the fun. It makes for great family bonding time.

One of the most important things we can do for our children is provide a united front. Children are masters at dividing and conquering to get what they want. 

Make it a goal to always stand with your wife in any decisions made. Your children need to know what mom says, goes, and you support her 100%.  Your wife needs to know you always have her back. 

If there are things you do not agree with, then talk about them privately and come up with a plan you both agree to. 

Small towns are hosting festivals and county fairs across the country.

Check the internet for more information on ones in your area. Find one nearby to attend and enjoy with the whole family. 

When is the last time you actually mailed a letter? It is still a nice surprise to get something personal in the mail. Write your wife a handwritten love letter and mail it. Write about some specific things you love about her.

If you happen to travel, mail it while you are away.

Everyone needs affection and love.  Give your wife a hug every day.  Hold her for at least 10 seconds and tell her you love her.

Many times men focus on their careers and their wives end up taking up the slack at home. This can be an overwhelming burden that woman can certainly handle but was not the way God designed the marriage relationship. 

This week, look for ways you can take the lead and offload some of the family responsibilities.  Whether this is stepping in for discipline of the children, taking on some extra chores, or just planning the week's events, give your wife some relief.  Make leading by example a consistent part of your life.
