Next Steps Ask Your Spouse (Taken from Curt and Rosanne Liesveld Marriage Muscles) You get the best of me when You get the worst of me when Here is what you can expect of me Here is what I need from you Pray 1 Peter 3:8-12 every day this week asking God for this to be how you live! 7 of the greatest needs of a wife by: Ron Edmondson Love Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her. Men, do you love your wife above everything else in your life (apart from your Christ relationship) including your work, your hobbies, your friends, family, and even the children? And, more importantly, do your actions prove your words? Attention Wives want to be listened to (even when the television is on) and know that we believe what they have to say is important. Our wives would prefer to talk with us over other women, even though another woman might better understand. Men, are you truly listening to what your wife is saying? Again, do your actions prove this? Protection Wives want their husbands to be the defender of the family; not just against the strange sounds in the night, but against all the threats in society. They want us to take the ownership in leading our family spiritually and in teaching our kids how to defend themselves and stay strong in an evil world. Men, are you working to protect your family from all threats? Security/Commitment Your wife wants to know you are going to be there forever. Wives often see their visually stimulated husbands looking at other women. Does she know you won t cheat on her? Are you going to be faithful always?men, can she trust you? Do your actions build that confidence? Appreciation/Value Wives want to be valued for who they are as much as for what they do. Wives want to know we see them with value beyond just what she does to keep the household running. Is she more important than the stuff she does? Is she still beautiful?men, do you regularly tell her what you admire about her? Do you genuinely compliment her not just for what she does? Compassion Women are going to respond differently to situations, don t try to change her. Men, do you understand that your wife is not wired like you? Are you patient with her, allowing her to process things differently than you? Are you still attempting to be romantic at times pursuing your wife like you did before you were married? Partnership Wives don t want to do life alone. They want their husband s participation in raising the kids, making decisions around the house and yes, sometimes even picking out paint colors. They want someone to do life with them, not live two separate lives in the same household. Men, are you living life with your wife? 2 New Covenant Community Church July 5, 2015
