More on Marriage

From the writings of Sumner Wemp


 

More on marriage, her part, love your husband

 

"You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine: Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children" Titus 2:1-4.
 
Love your husband

The word "love" is Philos, it is friendship love, you should be the BEST FRIEND HE HAS. Sumner, do you mean young women need to be TAUGHT how to love their husbands? You had better believe it. That is what this verse is saying.
 
How to love your husband

"Exhort (encourage) one another daily, Heb. 3:13. Man doesn't live by bread alone, he needs buttering up "daily." If you dear wives learn this we men are sunk, we will be melted butter in your hands.
 
Men need admiration

Wives need attention men need admiration. Men are wired with this macho chromosome, this male ego. It is no more wrong or evil than the wives need for attention, the need to be noticed by her husband.
 
I mentored a man who rose like a rocket in his firm. He was greatly admired by all in his company. Everything he did went right. All day he would hear one accolade after another. He would come home and his wife had seen and knew all of his faults and pointed them out routinely. It crushed him. Jesus said, "A prophet (a man) is not without honor but in his own country and among his own kin and IN HIS OWN HOUSE" Mark 5:4. Believe me dear ladies, he desperately wants and needs your admiration, your praise, your encouragement. If you want his TLC let him know he is the greatest guy in all the world. You do this, daily, and you will have him wrapped around your little finger.
 
He was put down on the job

Maybe he was put down, crushed, scorned, messed up on the job and he needs that reassurance from the one he loves the most, his wife. Give it to him and you will be the queen on the throne every day. Yes, you need that TLC everyday but I have learned that women are far more apt to lead the way in the home, to be the wife she needs than he is to be the husband h needs to be. It is often like a game of checkers, its your move.

 
A lady told me she was brought up not to brag on people. Well, you had better learn to brag on your husband, rave about him and he will be putty in your hands.
 
Prayer:  Father, bless this home. So much is expected of men to day. Help this wife to make her husband the greatest guy on earth, for her good and for Your glory. IN Jesus name
 

This is so true and they only way we can truly love one an other as husband and wife is if our eyes are fixed on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
