It can sometimes be difficult to get yourself motivated, so trying to motivate someone else can be really hard. You may be worried that your attempt will be taken the wrong way and your spouse will think you are nagging. You must be very tactful.
You may worry about hurting their feelings, or hurting the relationship the two of you have with each other. It is very important to let your spouse know that you love them and that you are trying to help.
It is also important that your spouse knows that you will still love them, even if they don't reach their goal.
It is necessary, in any situation, to have good communication with your spouse. Whether you are trying to motivate them to do something or working on the relationship, you must keep the lines of communication open.
When you can talk to each other about anything, and share your feelings, you will be better equipped to know how to motivate them.
Offering your support and letting your spouse know that you will be there to help is also very important. Let them know that you will do whatever you can to help them succeed.
Offer encouragement without sounding like you are trying to control every situation.
Choose your words wisely and be careful about the way you phrase them. Avoid saying things like, 'You need to' or 'You should'. Try saying something like, 'Maybe we could' or 'What if we try'.
Make it a team effort. No one wants to feel as if they are being controlled or pushed into doing something.

"You are a life Saver!!
I recently discovered this site and I can tell you that my life has not been the same. I now come here EVERYDAY and spend at least 1 hour.
I used to spend that time browsing online fashion and beauty
magazine which just means that I spend more. Now I have replaced that
habit with coming here.
In future I will think about contributing articles as well. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! and God bless"
