Please give us a few practical tips for a husband to do every day to empower his wife.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

I am very inexperienced in this field (laughter!).
First, never step on the emotions of a woman.
Second, encourage womenfolk to step out of their routine and comfort zone.
Third, encourage some creativity and some acts of kindness.
Four, let them take some time off to be quiet, and observe nature. We all take time off and go on vacation, but talking too much and talking all the time spoils the whole vacation. You come back tired, tanned and tired. Sometimes, one needs to take some time off to be quiet and spend a few moments in silence; meditate, and be with nature.
