From a Shiur by Shira Smiles on Parshat Yisro- Shalom of Shabbas
When you honor your wife it brings Shalom into your house, Shabbos is like our spouse so by honoring Shabbos we bring bracha into our house.
Sometimes it feels like we are not "honoring Shabbos" because we limit our food treats on Shabbos, but I have learned other ways of making Shabbos special without over eating. Saving special treats for Shabbos, a special fruit or vegetable, special flowers or reading material are also a treat for Shabbos. I often think of what my teacher once said, "are you doing this L'kovod Shabbos or L'Kovod your stomach".
