Loving my wife............

Appearance is important but to whose definition? My wife is beautiful because she is my woman. I married her and I will always flirt with her, romance her and chase her. Husbands need to understand that biblically that godly wife is a woman of great worth, trustworthy, hardworking, diligent, caring, thoughtful, business wise, disciplined, merciful, creative, lovely and most of all she loves God. Her attitude and actions produce a legacy that is praiseworthy (See Proverbs 31:10-31) and demonstrates a joyful freedom. Husbands should take anything his wife say into any consideration. The headship-submission relationship is not about inherent superiority and inferiority. Women are frankly wiser, more knowledgeable, more articulate, and more discerning than men. Men are called for understanding, sensitivity, and meeting his wife's needs regardless how she "looks". In the New Testament, the apostle Peter strongly exhorts to husbands to honor their wives. If I do not listen and honor my wife, I have sinned against God and my prayers will not be heard. By using an example from First Peter 3:7, Peter actually suggests that God designed women to be under the protection of a man, benefitting from his strength. And serving women by lending them that strength is one of the main ways we show them a Christlike, sacrificial love.
