Lies Wives Believe

Are You “Love” To Your Husband?

Better half.  Beauty with the Beast.  The Stronger of the Two.  The Prettier of the Two.

There are many things that the culture expects you to be as his wife.  Perhaps you even feel that you should be his competition!  The Bible has a lot to say about husbands and wives, especially about the type of wife God wants you to be.

Proverbs 31 spends a whole chapter talking about a virtuous wife—the wife that each father wants his son to have.  In verse 12 we find that the virtuous wife brings her husband good, not harm, all the days of her life.  What does this look like?

Am I LOVE to my husband. I mean, really… truly. Are the words of this song words that he would use to describe me?

After all this time, do I treat him in a way that gives him warm fuzzies deep in his belly when he knows he’s going to see me?

After all this time (which, in the big picture is really no time at all), does he still look at me the way he did when we met and feel at ease because, no matter what, he knows without a doubt, everything he is – the good, the bad, and the ugly – is safe with me? That when he comes home at the end of his day, or sees me in the morning, or when I bring him coffee in bed… that he really, truly feels loved - and that I am all that he needs? That I will be here no matter what – even if everything around us fell down – that I would be right by his side, always his biggest fan?

[To be called ‘love’ – Fully Mulched]

The truth is that the culture today doesn’t believe that the wife should have any duty to her husband—let alone love them.  They’ve set up society where, at best, marriage is a partnership to raise children. You have your own sets of friends.  You partake in your own separate activities.  You have your own personal checking accounts.

Two people that coexist under the same roof, and yet aren’t experiencing the bond we see present in the Scripture.

Wives, your husbands are called to love you as Christ loved the church.  That husband of yours is to be willing to lay down his life for you.  Are you doing what God commanded you?  Are you respecting him?  Loving him?  Submitting to him?

Can you say that you are love to your husband—that his heart can truly trust in you to do him good all of your days?
