Lies Wives Believe

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.

Tale as old as time:

• Boy meets girl.
• Boy falls in love with girl.
• Boy proposes to girl.
• Boy marries girl.
• Boy and girl live happily ever after.

But what if it wasn’t love?  What if it was indigestion?  And what happens to a marriage based on love when that love wanes?

You were married.  You have lived together for sometime.  But at some point—and we all reach this point—you decided that there is no longer anything new to learn about your spouse.  Indeed, you’ve stopped learning about your spouse and have decided that there’s nothing new to learn!

The problem is that you’re both changing people.  You are both a product of what is going on around you, and your opinions and feelings about things may change.  So why is it that the people that are closest to us stop trying to learn about us?

Wives, you’ll never totally understand your husband.  And the most frustrating realization is that at just about the time you think you have him figured out, something will change.  He’ll have a new interest, or he’ll behave in a way you couldn’t predict.

But one thing is certain.  He values your respect more than he values your love.  Which is the subject of today’s lie that wives believe:

Here’s the first lie that I’ve written about a wife might believe that wasn’t originated by her husband.  That her husband doesn’t love her.

Now, first, it’s certainly possible that it’s gotten to the point—the tragic point—in some marriages where he may truly have stopped loving her.  What I’m writing about isn’t this case.

I’m talking about those mental moments when a wife starts believing that her husband doesn’t love her based on some of the things that are going on around her, or because he hasn’t said it in a while.

While this is a cause for concern (meaning that you should find a good time to sit down and talk to him about it), it could just be that things have gotten in the way of what used to be.

My advice?  Seek some time to tell him your needs and what you’ve been sensing, but not in an accusing tone, but in a tome which can build a bridge.  You may find that he’s felt it too.
