The Role Of The Husband To His Wife.

 If you have read all the verses in the Bible, pertaining the aspect that talks about the husband and wife, there is one major key feature the Bible always talks about. 

Husband love your wife.

It is very simple and also not very simple, but with the help of the Holy Spirit, it is very simple. All it needs is your willingness. 

Ephesians 5:28 says "So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself" (KJV). 

Verse 25 of the same chapter says the same thing. This at first was surprising to me, when it was brought to my awareness by Pastor Anointed.

The Bible kept emphasising on the need for the Husband to love his wife at all times. And this of course applies to all situations. 

If you take a look at 1 Corinthians 13, the whole chapter was talking about love.

Verse 13 even makes it clear, "And so faith, hope, love abide [faith - conviction and belief respecting man's relation to God and divine things; hope – joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love – true affection for God and man, growing out of God's love for and in us], these three, but the greatest of these is love" (Amplified Bible).

This has revealed the power of love. And so the only way for peace to remain in any family is for the husband to love his wife always. 

Not sometime, or at times, but always, because once there is love, even when there is an arguement, it is easy to overlook them. But if love is not there, things that could have been sorted out easily will escalate (rise) into conflict in the family.

Though sometimes, it is not easy practicing love, especially to your wife.

Take for example;

You and your wife, just had an argument. And in the process she insulted you, and possibly said a very harsh word to you. 

Can you still love her?

 

Well it isn't going to be easy. But know one thing, a woman will always be a woman. They are the weaker vessel according 1 Peter 3:7 "Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered" (KJV).

So that is how it is. Remember you both were not made from the same materials. Women is the refined version of man, while man is the raw material version.

Here is a link below, on how man and woman was created.

As a married man, or a man about to get married, it is of great importance that you know this. 

There is no how your wife won't offend you.

It is very impossible if she doesn't offend you. In fact you should question her, because I am not sure you married a human being.

Even the Bible, which is the word of God, knows very well that the man will most times be offended in marriage (due to self value and ego as the head of the family) and that is why it (the Bible) emphasizes the importance of the Husband loving his wife. 

It isn't going to be easy as earlier stated, but as long as the Bible which is the word of God has commanded you as the Husband to love your wife in all situations, then you definitely have the ability to love in spite of the wrong done.

Beating, slapping your wife is not an act of love, and it will never be. It is an act of cowardice on the part of the Husband. A husband beating his wife, is like a husband beating himself. 

Remember she was made out of man and that is why she is called woman in Genesis 2:23.

Loving your wife in spite of the wrong done, is one of the greatest act of maturity. 

Maturity is not how old or young you are, but how well you can manage a situation for the best. Not even better.

So love her, cherish her and she will still come around. 

You can replace almost everything in your life, except God, your wife, and your children. 

Apostle Joshua Selman
