Selected Scriptures: Eph. 5:25 ; Col. 3:19 ; 1 Pet.
3:7
In my profession, I counsel many people who are having
trouble in their
relationships and what always amazes me,
is that neither people can see
what the real problem in the
relationship really is.
How many people actually have a marriage or partnership
that can fall
into the union that God really expects from
each one involved? Not very
many, I can tell you that.
Out side of the fact that this world has lost
it's
determination and drive to have a relationship that lasts
for a
lifetime, we all fall short of being the people of
the personal criteria
that God outlines for intimate
relationships. Not many people are willing
to put the
other person first. Not many people are willing to
always
be aware of the other persons need. Not many
people want to invest
the time and effort that a
relationship requires and more than anything
else, people
are to willing to let go and find someone new.
I have taken three of the most common verses that speak of
the love the
husband should have for his wife and have
sought out some definitions
and conclusions. This message
will help you to be the man your woman really
wants in her
life forever.
* Husbands love your wives, just as Christ also loved the
church and gave
Himself up for her. Eph 5:25
This is an interesting verse that is filled with many
definitions to understand.
The scripture is translated by
the following terms; warm leadership and
protection;
dependable; joyful fellowship and service to one another
evenly; vitality; directive in spiritual matters; the
initiater; ultimate
fellowship and co-ownership.
*Husbands love your wives and do not be embittered against
them. Col.3:19
Relationships are not just a sexual or emotional love, it
is a love that
loves inspite of the response of the other
person. The husband is to include
his wife in every aspect
of his life. The husband should have spiritual
respect and
honor for his partner.
*You husbands likewise, live with your wives in an
understanding way,
As with a weaker vessel, since she is a
woman; And grant her honor as
a fellow heir of the grace of
life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
1 Pet 3:7
Husbands need to be able to really understand his wife's
needs and her
significance that she holds in his life. His
perception of who she is
and how special she is in Christs'
viewpoint of the position the wife
has in the husband's
life. It really isn't hard to understand the needs
of the
wife or the expectations God holds for you, just use some
common
sense in the love you have for that special someone
in your life.
Many times women are afraid to share their worries or
needs with their
husbands, and more often than not, they
bottle everything up and then
when the pressure hits, they
explode into a hurt emotional person, who
strikes out at
the one she loves the most. You have to be able to see
the
truth behind what is really going on with her.
In the ideal setting a woman can turn to her husband for
spiritual guidance,
for strength, for compassion, for
intimacy, and for understanding. Can
you be the man God
expects you to be? Sure you can, but to do that, you
must
be a man who allows the Holy Spirit be in control of his
life.
It is going to take a lot of understanding and a whole lot
of love to be
patient and yet remember your wifes equality
in the relationship.
I challenge all of you to think on these things and if you
find yourself
falling short of what Gods word teaches us,
bury yourself in prayer and
seek some advice from the
Christian men who are around you.
Til Next Time.
