Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.
A wife will only fully respect her husband’s God ordained leadership when she loves him; and… a husband can only fully love his wive when he respects her from standing in total amazement of who God created her to be.
And we can only imagine what happens as such marriages flourish. For example:
- Better communication takes place
- Peace becomes the foundation of the household
- Joy is evident as spouses delight in each other’s gifts
Now, please listen to me on this, husbands and wives: your mate must be your number one priority… regardless of your other commitment
This is more than hard to pull off. It is impossible with our own wits and in our own strength. And this is why we are continually reminded that Christ, alone, must be the center of our homes
