There is one thing that I have discovered for myself in life, and now hold to be true....
No one can in any way influence anothers self image.
I know that there will be those who disagree with me, and suggest that having people who love you and believe in you can bolster your confidence etc., but my experience says this does not lead to true self confidence.
Only your wife can learn to like herself. You cannot make her. There is no amount of treating, poetry, or other flattery that can make your wife truly truly like herself.
If I knew the answer to how she could learn...my own life would be better, but sadly I do not. Each person is responsible for their own life, and self worth.
Note: I am not talking about having an inflated ego here, I am talking about accepting, and believing in ones self.
